Bullying behavior, youth's disease and intervention: which suggestions from the data for research on bullying in the Brazilian context?
Journal Title: Jornal de Pediatria - Year 2016, Vol 92, Issue 1
Abstract
Since the influential work by Dan Olweus,1 bullying has emerged as a major problem of the society all over world and across societies. The international literature reports rates of children and adolescents involved in bullying in different countries ranging from 7% to 43% for victims and from 5% to 44% for bullies.2 Moreover, the studies agree in highlighting how bullying constitutes a factor of risk for the health as well as the social and psychological adjustment of both the bullied and the bullying youth. Children and adolescents who suffer victimization by peers can be affected by several health problems, including physical and psychological disease symptoms, both concurrently and prospectively.3,4 Likewise, there is evidence that bullies can also suffer from depression and other diseases,4 and that they are at risk of externalizing behavior and involvement in criminal activities in late adolescence and adulthood.5
