Title: Bullying and LGBT Students (Information Resource)
Description: Bullying is an ongoing problem in schools across the nation. Bullying is commonly
discussed as including a physical, verbal, or psychological attack that purposefully harms or distresses the victim and that usually involves an imbalance of power and repeated acts (Farrington & Ttofi, 2010). Approximately one third of teenagers reported that they had been bullied in the past school year, with 7 percent indicating that they were bullied every day (e.g., Dinkes, Kemp, & Baum, 2009). Such victimization tends to
exacerbate whatever problems a student has (Bontempo & D'Augelli, 2002).Access at: http://smhp.psych.ucla.edu/pdfdocs/bullyinglgbt.pdf 88kb; 6pp
