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.
Do you see this being true in your own life, or in the lives of others you know?

He sees himself as the heroic caveman, beating the Ugg out of those snooty, superior astronauts, what with their technology and language and cooking meat before they eat it and not wiping their asses on live chipmunks and whatnot...the elitist bastards.

Rabbits not chipmunks.
Bear and a rabbit are taking a shit in the woods.
Bear: Rabbit, do you have problems with shit sticking to your fur?
Rabbit: No...
Bear wipes ass with rabbit.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

I'm confused. If the bear aims to remove the shit from the bear's fur, then surely an ass-wiping candidate should be selected based on its tendency to capture and hold shit to itself instead? Or was the bear's question merely concerning the rabbit's attitude toward a future scenario where the rabbit finds itself with (the bear's) shit stuck to itself?
