A new study led by the University of Delaware found that kids who are bullied in fifth grade often suffer from depression and begin using alcohol and other substances a few years after the incidents.
"Students who experienced more frequent peer victimization in fifth grade were more likely to have greater symptoms of depression in seventh grade, and a greater likelihood of using alcohol, marijuana or tobacco in tenth grade," said the study's leader, Valerie Earnshaw, a social psychologist and assistant professor in UD's College of Education and Human Development.
The study involved researchers from universities and hospitals in six states, who analyzed data collected between 2004 and 2011 from 4,297 students on their journey from fifth through tenth grade. The findings were published online in the medical journal Pediatrics.
The students were from Birmingham, Alabama; Houston, Texas; and Los Angeles County, California. Forty-four percent were Latino, 29 percent were African American and 22 percent were white.

Here's your citation: Your granddad. Every last man in the US knew this until relatively recently. Quite a lot of them could provide you multiple data points even.

To drunk to remember what you wrote? not my problem
"Here's your citation: Your granddad." did you know my grandfather ?, he most likely would have punch you in the face and called you a fascist that justified and propagated the violence of others and of authority, but what do I know.. He was a self educated man, a self made man, who never liked those that justified power over relationships.
