Summary
Peer victimization is detrimental to children's and adolescents' mental health and well-being. A sample of children's peer victimization experience was assessed at grade 3 or grade 4, and their internalizing problems were assessed consecutively over 10 years after the peer victimization assessment. Results revealed that peer victimization in middle childhood could be a marker of adolescent internalizing problems such as depression.
