Bullying behaviors among children are a worldwide problem and their effects, especially for victims, can be long lasting throughout adulthood. The present data was collected for the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study (N= 2088 Romanian university students). By using a retrospective approach, the first aim of this study was to identify the prevalence of bullying victimization for Romanian university students. The second aim was to assess the role of positive related family context in the relationship between the being bullied during the first 18 years of life and health problems during adulthood (mental and somatic health). Our results indicate the existence of a high history of bullying victimization for the Romanian university students. The exposure to positive related family context was a moderator in the relationship between bullying victimization and somatic health problems. Several research directions are proposed.
