Most high school bullies don't live up to this myth of perpeutating their bullihood through legitimate work. They have a hard time keeping jobs, struggle with substance abuse, personal relationships, etc. The stuff that leads to bullying (low self-esteem, broken home life, antisocial tendencies) is far more likely to manifest itself in being the one arrested, than in a successful career in a chain of command.
- barry-cotter 13y agoFor the benefit of anyone else who was wondering if the low self-esteem thing was true, it is; Bullies and bullying victims have lower self-esteem and for both groups the greater the frequency the lower the self-esteem. Bullying and victimization: prevalence and relationship to gender, grade level, ethnicity, self-esteem, and depression. http://europepmc.org/abstract/MED/15053498/reload=0;jsessionid=xiswkNNGEKuyDqVVqdPR.0 http://europepmc.org/abstract/MED/15053498/reload=0;jsession... This study investigated the prevalence of bullying and victimization among students in grades 7 and 8. It also explored the relationship of bullying and victimization to gender, grade level, ethnicity, self-esteem, and depression. Three survey instruments were used to obtain data from a convenience sample of 454 public school students. Twenty-four percent reported bullying involvement. Chi-square tests indicated significantly more male than female bullying involvement, seventh graders reported more involvement than did eighth graders, and there were no statistically significant differences in involvement based on ethnicity. Both bullies and victims manifested higher levels of depression than did students who were neither bullies nor victims. There were no significant differences between groups in terms of self-esteem.
