“…Espelage and Holt's (2001) investigation of depression among children who were bullied found that 20% of middle school victims scored within the clinical range on a standard depression and anxiety measure. In a study by Hazler, Hoover, and Oliver (1991), 90% of bullied students experienced a drop in school grades. Kochenderfer and Ladd (1996) showed that bullying victimization was related to school absenteeism and withdrawal.…”

The impact of bullying and sexual harassment on six health outcomes among middle school girls were compared to these outcomes among high school girls. High school girls experienced more bullying and sexual harassment and poorer health outcomes than their middle school counterparts, but the impact of these experiences was less among high school students. Differences in outcomes may be the result of better support systems and coping mechanisms among high school girls and/or challenging developmental changes during middle school. Sexual orientation, race, and disability had some notable relationships to bullying and sexual harassment experiences as well as health outcomes.

“…This finding is in agreement with a study conducted in Sheffield, UK cited by McEachern, Kenny, Blake and Aluede (2005) which revealed that 27% of elementary and middle school children reported being bullied sometimes during the term. Additionally, Hazler et al (1991), Oliver and Thomson (1993) and O'Moore and Hillery (1989), their studies revealed that bullying was more common with boy. For research question four, the finding indicates that bullying often take place in the hostel (71.0%), in the sports field (60.0%) and on the way to and from school (51.3%) in the classroom recorded 47.8%.The implication of this finding is that bullying occurs more with boarding school students than with day school students.…”

“…Studies performed in our country, and in the world about peer bullying exercised at every level of education, have determined different incidence rates for bullying. The incidence rates of bullying among students were also estimated by Olweus [4] (5-9%), by Glover [18] in the UK, and by Hazler [16] in the USA (75%), however Wang [12] determined the incidence of physical violence as 20.8 percent. Also in our country bullying is a serious problem in schools, and in recent years an increase in the relevant studies performed in our country has been observed.…”

“…Since bullying is a universal problem concerning all people, various world-, and nationwide studies have reported frequencies of peer bullying in a large spectrum ranging between 5, and 75 percent. Although an increase in the number of studies performed recently in our country has been observed, they were not sufficient in number [2,5,16]. In this study, the frequency, and diversity of peer bullying among first grade university students (freshmen), and its relationship between substance abuse, and sociodemographic characteristics have been investigated.…”

Aim. Peer bullying is defined as systematic, deliberate, intentional, and periodic agressive acts inflicted by physically or psychologically stronger children on their weaker peers without any evidence of provocation. In our study, we investigated the incidence of the peer bullying among university students, diversity and the relationship between of the peer bullying and substance use and socio-demographic characteristics. Method. Our study was conducted between April, 11 and May 20, 2011 with 2177 undergraduates training in Faculty of Education, Economics, Administrative Sciences, and Faculty of Science and Literature localized at Central Campus of Gaziosmanpaşa University using cluster sampling method. Based on the results obtained from previous prevalence studies, working with a 45% sampling distribution was decided upon. Accordingly, questionnaire surveys were applied on 985 students in their classrooms under the observance of a supervisor, and statistical analyses were performed on 964 completed questionnaire forms. Results. Two thirds of our study participants were first grade female students. Mean age of the participants was 19.8±1.6 years. A 10% of all students were smokers, 6.9% of them were using alcohol. Currently 0.4% of them were heroin, and cocaine users, while a very small percentage of the students were using thinner (0.4%) and cannabis (0.5%). Some of the male students stated that they could fight for their girl friends (32%) or for any friend (30%). A 22.3% of all the participants who were mostly male (40.8%) and at a lesser proportion female (13.4%) students expressed that they could fight frequently, and incessantly with those who would swear at them. Apart from verbal violence, in all types of violence, incidence of exposure to violent behaviours has observedly risen in line with the educational level of parents. Mostly among substance abusers (88.9%), then alcohol, and tobacco addicts have been exposed to physical violence in decreasing order. Verbal violence was directed mainly to alcohol abusers, while smokers were predominantly subjected to emotional violence. Conclusion. In our study a significant correlation was found between alcohol, and other substance abuses and increased incidence of bullying. In fact, in many studies performed, an association between substance abuse, and criminal acts has been revealed. Social, and individual awareness about the relationship between the substance use, and tendency to commit criminal acts should be created via informative programs encompassing both users, and their families.
