05/06/2009: "Children Bullied At School At High Risk Of Developing Psychotic Symptoms"

Children who are bullied at school over several years are up to four times more likely to develop psychotic-like symptoms by the time they reach early adolescence.

Professor Wolke said: "Our research shows that being victimised can have serious effects on altering perception of the world, such as hallucinations, delusions or bizarre thoughts where the person's insight into why this is happening is reduced."

Professor Wolke added: "All children have conflicts occasionally and teasing and play fighting occurs. Children learn from these conflicts of how to deal with this. When we talk about bullying victimisation it is repeated, systematic and an abuse of power with the intent to hurt. Children who become targets have less coping skills, show a clear reaction and have few friends who can help them."

[ Bullying is on the increase in schools and often white children are bullied by ethnic minorities and intelligent children are bullied because they study harder than others. Nowhere near enough is done to stamp this out - and this shows how phony all the "human rights" legislation and "anti-hate" laws are. ]

I grew up in a fairly well-to-do area (actually, it was an almost over-the-top area, but that's not what the propaganda about my hometown says). I was kind of in the middle of the area, moneywise, but that out of the way, most of the people who bullied me were Jews, and Whites who were real dopes and often good friends with these "chosen ones." After becoming aware at age 16, I began to turn the tide on them, making fights less likely (or more likely! if I told some gay Jew at school that he should be put in a concentration camp), but the mostly White students, despite being very friendly with me, were practically incorrigible. Many of the people there were quite two-faced, and everything was so confusing for someone who was popular, yet different. The American education system ranks dead last among industrialized nations, and I believe it!
