“…Bullying is a pervasive peer relationship problem with psychological, social, and academic consequences (Annerback, Sahlqvist, & Wingren, 2014;Barzilay et al, 2017;Fahy et al, 2016;Landstedt & Persson, 2014;Waasdorp & Bradshaw, 2015). Studies have also indicated a possible association between bullying and physical symptoms, such as pain (Fridh, Kohler, Moden, Lindstrom, & Rosvall, 2018;Gini, Pozzoli, Lenzi, & Vieno, 2014) and the use of analgesics (Garmy, Hansson, Vilhjalmsson, & Kristjansdottir, 2019).…”

Bullying is defined as repeated and unwanted aggressive behavior involving a power imbalance and hurt children and adolescents' socioemotional functioning. The aim is to investigate associations between pain (headache, stomach pain, backache, and neck/shoulder pain) and bullying among school-aged children and adolescents. This cross-sectional schoolbased survey comes from the Icelandic data set in the international research network Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children. The study population included all Icelandic students in Grades 6, 8, and 10 (ages 11, 13, and 15 years, respectively; participation rate, 84%; n ¼ 10,626). An anonymous standardized questionnaire was distributed and completed by students in their classrooms. About every 8 in 10 bullied students reported weekly pain (79%), compared with little over half of nonbullied students (57%). The prevalence of pain was significantly higher among bullied students compared with their nonbullied peers. Being a bullying victim was associated with an increased frequency of experiencing headaches, stomachaches, and back pain, in addition to neck or shoulder pain. It is important for mental health nurses and health professionals to ask about pain when meeting with children and adolescents as well as to inquire about their peer relationships.

“…On the contrary, an analysis of the international HBSC data revealed that bullying actually has a stronger negative effect on life satisfaction of individuals in schools and countries where bullying is less frequent (Arnarsson & Bjarnason, 2018). In Iceland, victims of bullying report poorer relations with their parents and are less likely to report having a best friend (Arnarsson & Bjarnason, 2009), report more physical and psychological symptoms (Garmy, Hansson, Vilhjálmsson, & Kristjánsdóttir, 2019a; Hansson, Garmy, Vilhjálmsson, & Kristjánsdóttir, 2020), use more pain medication controlling for self‐reported pain (Garmy, Hansson, Vilhjálmsson, & Kristjánsdóttir, 2019b), and are more likely to have attempted suicide (Arnarsson, Malmquist, & Bjarnason, 2017).…”

Adolescent migration expectations are shaped by various background characteristics, social relations, and lifestyle considerations. However, the impact of negative social experiences in adolescent society on migration expectations received limited attention. Research on the social consequences of school bullying has nevertheless demonstrated that bullying often leads to social withdrawal and place avoidance. In this study, we examine the potential effects of being bullied in school on adolescent migration expectations in rural, exurban, and urban communities in Iceland. We find adolescents who are regularly bullied to be about twice as likely to expect to move within the country or abroad. Interestingly, there are no significant differences across the rural-urban continuum in this respect. The results are discussed in the context of prior research on migration intentions and the social consequences of bullying.

“…An Icelandic school‐based survey study of 10 390 adolescents aged 11, 13 and 15 years showed that the use of pain medication was significantly higher among students who were bullied . The difference remained, even when the data were controlled for the amount of reported pain, age, gender and socioeconomic status.…”
