For Middle School Kids, Witnessing School Violence May Be As Bad As Being Bullied, Study Suggests

HealthDay (9/28, Dallas) reported, “For middle school students, witnessing school violence can be as bad as being bullied,” researchers concluded in a study that “involved nearly 4,000 students in Quebec.” The study revealed that children “who had seen physical assaults or someone carrying weapons in the eighth grade had a higher risk of drug use and delinquency later on.” The findings were published online Sept. 5 in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.
