“…School bullying is gaining recognition as a serious threat to the mental and physical health of adolescents around the world, occurring across a diverse demographic spectrum (Aluede, Adeleke, Omoike, & Afen-Akpaida, 2008;Coggan, Bennett, Hooper, & Dickinson, 2003;Wild, Flisher, Bhana, & Lombard, 2004). Little consensus exists in the literature concerning the profile of a bully (Aluede et al, 2008;Kreager, 2009;Valliancourt, Hymel, & McDougall, 2003).…”

“…Both bullies and their victims are at greater risk for social anxiety, lower self-esteem, depression, hopelessness, and suicidal ideation (Coggan et al, 2003;Dukes et al, 2009;Espelage & Holt, 2001;Jankauskiene, Kardelis, Sukys, & Kardeliene, 2008;Kim & Leventhal, 2008;Storch et al, 2004). Bulling behavior has also been associated with increased alcohol and drug use among college students (Storch et al, 2004).…”

“…National research suggests that greater than fifty percent of students in grades 6 to 10 are impacted by bullying (Wang, Iannotti, & Nansel, 2009). There is mounting evidence that bullying greatly influences the psychosocial functioning of both perpetrators and victims (Coggan et al, 2003;Dukes, Stein, & Zane, 2009;Espelage & Holt, 2001;Kim & Leventhal, 2008;McCabe, Antony, Summerfeldt, Liss, & Swinson, 2003;Storch, Bagner, Geffken, & Baumeister, 2004). Broadly defined, bullying is characterized as behavior that is intended to inflict harm or stress, occurs repeatedly over a period of time, and involves an inequity of strength or power (Dukes et al, 2009).…”

Identifying practices of masculinity socialization that contribute to the establishment of gender privilege can help address violence and bullying in schools (Connell, 1996). Because the sport of football is considered an important contributor to masculinity construction, establishing peer networks, and creating hierarchies of student status, this study examined the influence of social norms (i.e., moral atmosphere, meanings of adolescent masculinity) on bullying beliefs and behaviors of 206 high school football players. Results demonstrated that moral atmosphere (Peer Influence, Influential Male Figure) and adherence to male role norms significantly predicted bullying, but the strongest predictor was the perception of whether the most influential male in a player's life would approve of the bullying behavior. In addition to prevention interventions highlighting the role of influential men and masculinity norms in this process, implications for practice suggest that football players can use their peer influence and status as center sport participants to create a school culture that does not tolerate bullying.

“…Lastly, sampling a small number of bullies and victims for in-depth interviews could have provided a richer understanding into the data, but was beyond the scope of this study. Coggan et al (2003) found that for adolescents to achieve in social, academic and physical settings, positive mental health is a precondition. Their study emphasised the "need for mental health promotion, positive youth development, prevention and early intervention strategies to eliminate bullying in schools settings.…”

Does forgiveness mediate the impact of school bullying on adolescent mental health?

Conclusions: Victimised adolescents who were better able to forgive themselves were more likely to report lower levels of psychopathology, while bullying adolescents who were unable to forgive others were more likely to report higher levels of psychopathology. This suggests a greater role for forgiveness within future research, intervention and policy on bullying. Forgiveness can form a valuable part of preventative and educational anti-bullying programmes.

“…Child abuse, especially sexual abuse, has repeatedly been associated with self-harming and suicidal behaviour (Bensley et al, 1999, Harrington et al, 2006, Ystgaard et al, 2004, and the link appears direct even though self-esteem (Evans et al, 2005) or continued adversity over the life-cycle (Harrington et al, 2006) may play a mediating role. Both being bullied (Coggan et al, 2003) and fear of bullying (Baldry and Winkel, 2003) have been linked to an increase in self-harm.…”

There is evidence to suggest that both psychological characteristics and stressful life events are contributory factors in deliberate self-harm among young people. These links, and the possibility of a dose-response relationship between self-harm and both psychological health and life events, were investigated in the context of a seven-country school-based study. Over 30,000, mainly 15 and 16 year olds, completed anonymous questionnaires at secondary schools in Belgium, England, Hungary, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway and Australia. Pupils were asked to report on thoughts and episodes of self-harm, complete scales on depression and anxiety symptoms, impulsivity and self-esteem and indicate stressful events in their lives. Level and frequency of self-harm was judged according to whether they had thought about harming themselves or reported single or multiple self-harm episodes. Multinomial logistic regression assessed the extent to which psychological characteristics and stressful life events distinguished between adolescents with different self-harm histories. Increased severity of self-harm history was associated with greater depression, anxiety and impulsivity and lower self-esteem and an increased prevalence of all ten life event categories. Female gender, higher impulsivity and experiencing the suicide or self-harm of others, physical or sexual abuse and worries about sexual orientation independently differentiated single-episode self-harmers from adolescents with self-harm thoughts only. Female gender, higher depression, lower self-esteem, experiencing the suicide or self-harm of others, and trouble with the police independently distinguished multiple- from single-episode self-harmers. The findings reinforce the importance of psychological characteristics and stressful life events in adolescent self-harm but nonetheless suggest that some factors are more likely than others to be implicated
