Why do you believe that adolescents bully one another? Does the text reinforce or alter your beliefs?

Respuesta :

Adolescents bully one another because the bullies have acceptance issues. They believe that by exhibiting dominance over their peers, they will be accepted.

According to paragraph 4 of the text, pressure to obtain acceptance from their peers as well as to gain status may be related to an increase in teasing (or name-calling or ridiculing) and bullying.

Other factors that could cause bullying are:

  • Stress caused by the need to fit into middle school;
  • changing from one school to another;
  • reliance on peers for social support. Please see paragraph 5 for text reinforcing the above statement.
