Victims lack social skills, blame themselves for their problems and are afraid to go to school.
These traits are among the most common indicators of bullying and victim behaviors in children, according to a new study at Ohio University. The study, published in the journal School Psychology International, found 19 common characteristics for bullies and 21 for victims.
