"Do You Want to Be in My Gang?" A Study of the Existence and Effects of Bullying in a Primary School Class.

Torrance, Deirdre A.

British Journal of Special Education, v24 n4 p158-62 Dec 1997

A study of 25 British students (ages 11-12) found that children with identified special needs did appear to be potentially at risk of being bullied through their social isolation. The most effective way of avoiding being bullied was to ensure there was someone lower down the pecking order than themselves. (CR)
