Yes.
Is bullying distressing? Potentially.

But would I use these terms for it? Perhaps, but they aren't what would first come to mind.
buddy your personal definition of trauma isnt really relevant in deciding what is actually a trauma. bullying can have life long effects on people and it can traumatize people. doesn't mean it has to traumatize people but it definitely can lol
Wow I wish I was someone who didn't have "Haha gay guys are pedophiles" jokes and "Oh you're Indian? Are you gonna bomb the school?" jokes thrown at me my whole life so I could see people who were upset and react like this.
Who the **** are you quoting from...?? At least make the joke make sense hsnsnsn wtf

You know some pretty weird people. If I were to decide if someone was likely to throw bombs about the place, I'd base it off appearance rather than what they claimed to be. Why do you live in such an unaccepting area? (okay, that's not a reasonable question to answer, but I can only really see homosexuals etc. being judged online, not in person)
I only used the term "triggered" once, and in the BuzzFeed sense - not sure why you're bringing that up now.
Anyway, seeing as the big paragraphs are being rolled out, I'm going to wave my little white flag.
^ this, haha. Istg they ain't normal
