I hate these studies and all these statistics released by people who only look at the big picture


Actually looking at the big picture means looking at why it's happened, what is causing it, why is the person doing it. Most people will just look at the behavior and try and stop it than looking at the big picture.

Maybe, just maybe, these same teens had been bullied most of their younger years and are now fed up? Maybe just maybe most of these teens have been treated horribly by their parents, therapists, caregivers and have high anxiety? Maybe these same kids have been told they are wrong so many times they won't put up with it anymore? And there are many other things to consider, but you know, anyone can do such research nowadays and then claim they have the answer...blah


This is seeing the big picture and lot of people don't do it.

So did they repeatedly chase the other 52 into corners every day?

I think a better study would have been anxiety and aggression in bullying victims. Fake or skewed science is a very dangerous thing.


I don't see any problems in their methodology save for the how cheap it was of them to feign being oblivious to homeostatic principles. Their study was about as groundbreaking as asking "Will our clinician undergrads fight their way out of a trap?".
