“…Bullying consists of intentionally harmful or disturbing behavior that is repeated and invokes a power differential (Nansel et al, 2001). Longitudinal studies have demonstrated the impact of social exclusion, verbal/physical abuse, and coercion by peers during childhood and early adolescence on later suicidal ideation, suicide attempt, and suicide death (Geoffroy et al, 2016;Kim, Leventhal, Koh, & Boyce, 2009;Klomek et al, 2008Klomek et al, , 2009Winsper, Lereya, Zanarini, & Wolke, 2012). These associations largely hold up when controlling for depression and other psychiatric symptoms (Kim et al, 2009;Winsper et al, 2012), and are particularly robust for the impact of peer victimization on female adolescents (Klomek et al, 2009).…”

There is much work to be done to better understand suicidal thoughts and behaviors among youth. We strongly encourage future research to: (1) continue improving the conceptualization and operationalization of suicidal thoughts and behaviors; (2) improve etiological understanding by focusing on individual (preferably malleable) mechanisms; (3) improve etiological understanding also by integrating findings across multiple units of analyses and developing short-term prediction models; (4) demonstrate greater developmental sensitivity overall; and (5) account for diverse high-risk populations via sampling and reporting of sample characteristics. These serve as initial steps to improve the scientific approach, knowledge base, and ultimately prevention of suicidal thoughts and behaviors among youth.

“…In general, research suggests that peer victimization is associated with a range of negative consequences, including individual psychosocial challenges such as depression (Hawker & Boulton, ; Kim, Kim, & Kim, ; Klomek, Sourander, & Gould, ; Liu et al, ; Stapinski, Araya, Heron, Montgomery, & Stallard, ; Troop‐Gordon, Rudolph, Sugimura, & Little, ; Zwierzynska, Wolke, & Lereya, ), suicidality (Geoffroy et al, ; Heilbron & Prinstein, ; Klomek et al, ), and loneliness (Kochenderfer & Ladd, ; Storch & Masia‐Warner, ; Storch, Brassard, & Masia‐Warner, ). Peer victimization is also associated with broader, school‐based environmental challenges such as low school attachment and connectedness to staff and other students at school (Eisenberg, Neumark‐Sztainer, & Perry, ; You et al, ) as well as low perceived school safety (Bradshaw, Koth, Thornton, & Leaf, ; Glew, Fan, Katon, & Rivara, ; Waasdorp, Pas, O'Brennan, & Bradshaw, ).…”

The purpose of the present study is to examine whether physical and relational victimization negatively impacts indicators of school climate–students’ perceptions of school safety, their attachment to school, and their help‐seeking behavior–and whether gender moderates these associations. Using a sample of 361 third through fifth‐grade students recruited from six public elementary schools, results reveal that relational and physical victimization were both uniquely associated with lower levels of school safety and school attachment, with stronger associations between school attachment and relational victimization. However, only physical victimization was negatively associated with help‐seeking, suggesting that physical victimization is more influential on help seeking as compared with relational victimization. Gender moderated the relationships between victimization and school attachment and help‐seeking with differences by form noted. No gender differences were evident in associations between the forms of peer victimization and school safety. Implications for prevention and intervention in schools are discussed.

“…Peer victimization has also been associated with increased levels of fear, anger, and decreased social satisfaction (Geoffroy et al, 2015;Kochenderfer-Ladd, 2004;Kochenderfer-Ladd & Wardrop, 2001). Being mistreated by one's peers is even correlated with higher levels of externalizing problems, such as being aggressive and disruptive, rulebreaking behavior, fewer prosocial behaviors, and increased school adjustment problems (Arseneault et al, 2006)behaviors that are often thought to be only associated with the perpetrator of peer abuse.…”

This study examined whether children follow unique victimization trajectories during elementary school and whether these paths predict differential psychological and physical health outcomes during high school. Participants included 1,073 children from the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development. Peer victimization was assessed in the 3rd, 5th, 6th, and 9th grades, and psychological and physical health outcomes (e.g., depression, loneliness, internalizing problems, externalizing problems, physical health markers, and health habits) were measured in the 9th grade. Growth mixture modeling revealed three groups: non‐victims (n = 886), persistent victims (n = 52), and escaped victims (n = 70). Generally, persistent victims experienced poorer physical functioning and health, higher levels of psychological maladjustments, and poorer health habits (i.e., sleep problems, disordered eating) compared to non‐victims. Using case–control matching, escaped victims and non‐victims did not differ on health behaviors and most physical health measures, with the exception of adiposity. Escaped victims experienced higher levels of psychological issues than non‐victims comparable to those observed in persistent victims. These findings underscore the heterogeneity of both victimization experiences and health outcomes following aversive peer experiences.

Associations Between Peer Victimization and Suicidal Ideation and Suicide Attempt During Adolescence: Results From a Prospective Population-Based Birth Cohort

Abstract: Victimization is associated with an increased risk of suicidal ideation and suicide attempt over and above concurrent suicidality and prior mental health problems. The longer the history of victimization, the greater the risk.
