. . EDUCATION: K-12: STUDENTS : CRIMES AND CRIMINALS: BULLYS AND BULLYING : EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES: The Real Consequences of Bullying . . The Real Consequences of Bullying Written by: John Lash September 23, 2011 Juvenile Justice Information Exchange http://jjie.org/real-consequences-of-bullying/40001 . .Bullying is increasingly seen as a problem in the United States, and some research has started to prove that its consequences are real.
.Most adults can probably remember being bullied in school, and there is a tendency to think of it as a rite of passage or simply as a part of life that kids have to get used to. After all, we got through it OK, perhaps with the advice of standing up to the bully, or simply by enduring it until it went away.
.Consider a few statistics from James Burns, an educational speaker and trainer who runs Proactive Behavioral Management:
.Sixty percent of middle school students say they have been bullied, while 16 percent of staff believe that students are bullied.
.Thirty percent of students who reported they had been bullied said they had at times brought weapons to school.
. A bully is six times more likely to be incarcerated by the age of 24. .A bully is five times more likely to have a serious criminal record when he or she grows up.
. Two thirds of students who are bullied become bullies. . Twenty percent of all children say they have been bullied. .Twenty five percent of students say that teachers intervened in bullying incidents while 71 percent of teachers say they intervened.
.The average child has watched 8,000 televised murders and 100,000 acts of violence before finishing elementary school.
.In schools where there are bullying programs bullying is reduced by 50 percent.
.Bullying was a factor in two thirds of the 37 school shootings reviewed by the U.S. Secret Service.
.One organization in Georgia, the Lowndes County Drug Action Council (LODAC), has launched an anti-bullying pilot program at Lowndes Middle School in Valdosta, Ga. LODAC started in 1988 to specifically address the growing problem of drug abuse by school-aged kids who were most at risk and who lacked insurance to pay for treatment.
