Background: Previous research suggests adolescents involved in bullying are more likely to carry weapons than peers who are not involved in bullying.
How the Study Was Conducted: The authors reviewed medical literature and analyzed 22 studies for victims (n=257,179), 15 studies for bullies (n=236,145) and eight studies for bully-victims (n=199,563).

A new study has revealed that teenage victims of cyberbullying are more likely to develop symptoms of depression, substance abuse and internet addiction.
Results: Studies indicate that bullies, victims and bully-victims were more likely to carry weapons. Studies conducted in the U.S. found stronger associations between being a bully-victim and weapon-carrying than studies in other countries.
Conclusion: "The current meta-analysis suggests that bullying is related to weapon carrying among adolescents and further establishes bullying as a risk factor for adolescent problem behavior. Given the wide range of negative implications bullying may have, it is important that schools endeavor to reduce bullying among their students, preferably by using evidence-based methods."
