5 . The effect of bullying (欺凌) can be serious and even lead to tragedy. Unfortunately, it is still a mostly researched area.

    1     That year, two students with shotguns, both of whom had been considered gifted and who had been bullied for years, killed 13 people, wounded 24 and then committed suicide. A year later, an analysis by the US government found that bullying played a major role in more than two-thirds of the campus violence.

    2     Numerous invaders throughout history have tried to defend their bullying behavior by claiming that they themselves were bullied.     3     Although there is no justification for bullying, many of the worst humans in history have indeed bullies and victims of bullying.

Since bullying is often ignored, it may provide an important clue in crowd behavior and passer-by behavior.     4     Many of them have suggested bullying as one of the reasons of this becoming less sensitive to violence.     5     In this sense, bullying affects not only the bullied but his friends and classmates and the whole society.

A．Research indicates that the victim often becomes the bully.

B．Psychologists have been puzzled by the inactivity of crowds and bystanders when crimes occur in crowded places.

C．More attention should be paid to people's reaction to bullying when it happens.

D．Hitler, for example, is claimed to have been a victim of bullying in his childhood.

E．Campus bullying is becoming a serious problem in some high schools in big cities.

F．The friends and classmates of the bully and the victim also accept the violence as normal.

G．The link between bullying and school violence has attracted increasing attention since 1999.

6 . An old problem is getting new attention in the United States—bullying. Recent cases included the tragic case of a fifteen-year-old girl whose family moved from Ireland. She hanged herself in Massachusetts in January following months of bullying. Her parents criticized her school for failing to protect her. Officials have brought criminal charges against several teenagers.
Judy Kuczynski is president of an anti-bullying group called Bully Police USA. Her daughter Tina was the victim of severe bullying starting in middle school in the state of Minnesota. Her said, "Our daughter was a very outgoing child. She was a bubbly personality, very involved in all kinds of things, had lots of friends. And over a period of time her grades fell completely. She started having health issues. She couldn't sleep. She wasn't eating. She had terrible stomach pains. She started clenching her jaw and grinding her teeth at night. Didn't want to go to school."
Bullying is defined as negative behavior repeated over time against the same person. It can involve physical violence. Or it can be verbal — for example, insults or threats. Spreading lies about someone or excluding a person from a group is known as social or relational bullying.
And now there is cyber bullying, which uses the Internet, e-mail or text messages. It has easy appeal for the bully because it does not involve face-to-face contact and it can be done at any time.
The first serious research studies into bullying were done in Norway in the late 1970s. The latest government study in the United States was released last year. It found that about one-third of students age twelve to eighteen were bullied at school.
Susan Sweater is a psychologist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and co-director of the Bullying Research Network. She says schools should treat bullying as a mental health problem to get bullies and victims the help they need. She says bullying is connected to depression, anxiety and anti-social behavior, and bullies are often victims themselves.
