• Verbal bullying is the most common type of bullying experienced by both boys and girls.

Research Shows:• Boys who were identified as bullies in middle school were four

times as likely as their non-bullying peers to have more than one criminal conviction by age 24 (Olweus, 1993).

– 40% had three or more arrests.

• Research shows that bullying can be a sign of other serious antisocial or violent behavior. Children and youth who frequently bully their peers are more likely than others to get into frequent fights, be injured in a fight, vandalize or steal property, drink alcohol, smoke, be truant from school, drop out of school, and carry a weapon (Nansel et al., 2003; Olweus, 1993).
