  • This is bad for you.
  • Yes, natural.
  • This is bad to you.
  • Not really used.
  • It may refer to a thing (as a person would require 'he' or 'she' rather than 'this') and would potentially mean 'it' was unkind and horrible to somebody.

Yes, natural.

This is bad to you.

Not really used. It may refer to a thing (as a person would require 'he' or 'she' rather than 'this') and would potentially mean 'it' was unkind and horrible to somebody. It's hard to make it work as a sentence.

This is important for you.

Yes, makes sense. It suggests that the thing is going to be important
