Studies Reveal Why Kids Get Bullied and Rejected

Posted by kdawson on from the see-my-finger-see-my-thumb dept.

Thelasko writes "I'm sure many here have been the victim of bullying at some point in their lives. A new study suggests why. '...now researchers have found at least three factors in a child's behavior that can lead to social rejection. The factors involve a child's inability to pick up on and respond to nonverbal cues from their pals.' The article sketches out some ways teachers and councilors are working with bullied kids to help them develop the missing social skills."

    social cues.

    If I wanted to know what other kids thought of me, I told them and they toed the line if they didn't want the snot beat out of them.

    I'm sorry, did your post have a point? Well, tell it to somebody who cares.

    Yes, and we stop that shit in the bud. Half the reason the USA kicked ass in the 1990s was that we started trying to treat everyone decently: we get the Indians, Chinese, English, Sengalese, French, and everyone else who wants to try to make it. Just fire the stupids who think "he's black" is actually a joke and replace the guy with someone intelligent.

    I love this political correctness stuff: shun the retards and replace them with intelligent people. Life just gets better when "X is ugly" is not considered a funny joke.
