«Breaking News» Bullying more common among middle school students who live in districts that voted for Trump in 2016

Middle school students living in regions that voted for Donald Trump in 2016 were more likely to be bullies, according to a new study.

Bullying rates in those localities were 18 percent higher in 2017 than they were in districts that went to Hillary Clinton, according to the paper published Wednesday in Educational Researcher.

Researchers also found that student reports of teasing based on race or ethnicity were 9 percent higher in Republican strongholds during that period.

The findings marked a notable change, because researchers found no meaningful differences in bullying and teasing rates across districts prior to the 2016 presidential election.

Bullying rates in districts that voted for Donald Trump were 18 percent higher in 2017 than they were in districts that went to Hillary Clinton, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Missouri and the University of Virginia

The study is based on surveys of more than 155,000 seventh- and eighth-grade students in Virginia's 132 school districts.

University of Missouri Associate Professor Francis Huang and University of Virginia Professor Dewey Cornell conducted the study using survey data from 2013, 2015 and 2017.

Students were asked if they had been bullied at school, and about the teasing and cruelty that they had observed happening to others.

They then mapped the results onto presidential election results for each school district's locality, revealing the correlation between Trump territory and bullying.

Researchers found that a 10 percentage point increase in Trump voters was associated with a 5 percent rise in teasing (in a given district) based on race or ethnicity and an 8 percent increase in bullying overall.

'While our findings do not indicate that support for Trump caused bullying to increase in Republican districts, they do provide some credence to the widespread perception that some types of teasing and bullying have increased,' Huang said, noting that teachers around the country have expressed concerns about bullying since the 2016 election.

Huang told DailyMail.com that children don't likely get inspiration to bully directly from Trump, but there are multiple pathways by which the president's influence could trickle down to students. 

'We don't expect kids to be watching the presidential debates or keeping an eye on the electoral campaigns,' he said. 'But their parents might be condoning certain types of behaviors and saying what's okay. That's one pathway that we think about.' 

He and Cornell called for further research to determine if the link between bullying and Donald Trump is causal – and, if so, how that manifests itself.

'While the ways in which the presidential election could have affected students is likely complex, educators and parents should be aware of the potential impact of public events on student behavior,' Cornell said.

'Parents should be mindful of how their reactions to the presidential election, or the reactions of others, could influence their children,' he added. 'And politicians should be mindful of the potential impact of their campaign rhetoric and behavior on their supporters and indirectly on youth.' 

The study noted that there have been more than 50 news reports of school bullying from around the country since the 2016 election in which students specifically mention Donald Trump.

In addition, the National Education Association has characterized the president as a bully based on his public statements and Twitter feed.

First Lady Melania Trump has campaigned against bullying via her 'Be Best' initiative, and once described herself in an interview with CNN as 'the most bullied person in the world.'

The campaign focuses on social media and online behavior and seeks to educate children about 'social-emotional behavior, so when they grow up they know how to deal with those issues,' she told CNN.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
