“…Previous research has likewise shown that bullying victimization was associated with staying home from school due to feeling unsafe (Williams, Schneider, Wornell, & Langhinrichsen-Rohling, 2018). Among middle school children ( N = 5,138), bullying victimization has also been associated with feeling unsafe at school (OR = 3.1); physical bullying (OR = 9.12) has especially been associated with weapon carrying (Bowser, Larson, Bellmore, Olson, & Resnik, 2018).…”

The recent increase in the number of school shootings in the United States is a great concern. Consistent with General Strain Theory, previous research suggests that high school students who perpetrate gun violence have often experienced bullying victimization. This research investigated the interaction between gender and school bullying victimization on gun carrying, weapon carrying, and weapon carrying at school. Estimates of additive interaction were reported as recommended by the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines and compared with the estimates of multiplicative interaction. Data were used from a nationally representative survey of 61,042 U.S. high school students. Secondary analysis of pooled cross-sectional data from the 2009, 2011, 2013, and 2015 Youth Risk Behavior Survey was done, using R to estimate interactive effects on an additive scale between male gender and school bullying victimization on weapon carrying. A significant association was found between school bullying victimization, and gun and weapon carrying. Estimates of additive interaction show that the relationship between school bullying victimization and gun or weapon carrying is significantly greater among males than females as predicted by General Strain Theory. School bullying victimization increases the rate of gun and weapon carrying among all students, and especially among male students. Most mass school shooters are male and most of them experience some form of bullying victimization. Consequently, bullying prevention is likely to be important in a national effort to reduce gun and weapon violence in U.S. schools. This research also illustrates why estimates of adjusted risk differences and additive interactions should be reported for interpersonal violence research.

“…Exposure to bullying at school is common among adolescents [1][2][3] and associated with a range of health problems [2,4], risk behaviours [5], suicidal ideation [6], and negative school experiences [7][8]. Qualitative studies show that students exposed to bullying reported a wide range of negative emotional experiences: sadness, decreased self-esteem, embarrassment, fear, suicidal thinking, anger, feeling hurt, loneliness, powerlessness, helplessness, and confusion [9].…”

Aims: To examine social inequality in exposure to bullying at school among adolescents and changes in social inequality over time. We applied data from seven nationally representative school surveys in 1994, 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018 in Denmark, the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study. Methodology: The study population was 11-, 13- and 15-year-olds, response rate 87.9%, N=33,460 with comparable data about exposure to bullying and socioeconomic status. The analyses included 1) absolute social inequality, i.e. percent difference in exposure to bullying between low and high socioeconomic groups and 2) relative social inequality based on logistic regression analyses with odds ratios for exposure to bullying by socioeconomic background. Results: The prevalence of exposure to bullying decreased from 24.4% in 1994 to 4.9% in 2018. Bullying was significantly most prevalent among schoolchildren from lower socioeconomic groups. The absolute social inequality decreased from 10.7% in 1994 to 3.9% in 2018. The relative social inequality was 1.30 (1.19-1.43) in middle and 1.77 (1.59-1.96) in low socioeconomic group, compared to high. There was no significant change in relative social inequality from 1994 to 2018. Conclusion: In the period 1994 to 2018 with substantial reduction in exposure to bullying at school there was a decrease in the absolute social inequality and an unchanged relative social inequality in exposure to bullying.

“…The findings obtained from the present research are in agreement with literature findings. Recent studies show that 20%–35% of adolescents are either victims, victimized, or both (Browser et al, 2018; Calpbinici & Tas Arslan, 2019). Studies on internet addiction show that 2.47%–7.02% (Kılıç et al, 2016; Pan et al, 2020) and 17.4% (Lin et al, 2018) of children and youth, respectively, are at risk.…”

Purpose This study was conducted to evaluate peer bullying, internet addiction, and psychological adaptation capabilities of students in the 9–15 age group. Design and Methods The study was performed as cross‐sectional‐descriptive research with 880 students included in the research sample. Findings One‐fourth of the students in the 9–15 age group suffered from psychological adaptation issues, one‐fifth suffered from bullying issues, and 16.5% suffered from internet addiction. Conclusion There is a need for early determination in risky age groups, a collaboration between parents and teachers in schools, and extended social studies on the prevention of peer bullying and internet addiction.
