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?

Lemme get this straight: You have compromised yourself by signing dumbass contract agreements, and placed yourself at the mercy of a predator. That predator is backed by a predatory corporation's HR. And - only now you discover that mercy is almost nonexistent in the corporate world.
You have two choices, as I see it. And, they are CHOICES. You go ahead and tolerate the abuse, and live in fear - or you man up, break the bully's nose, and head on home, wherever that is. Man up, or snivel in misery. Your choice.
