Study Suggests Black, Latino Students Affected Most By Bullying

FOX News (8/24) reports that a study of 9,590 students in 580 schools has found that "bullying has implications for achievement regardless of racial and ethnic background, but seems to be especially detrimental for subsets of certain racial and ethnic groups," namely Latino and African American students. The study compared student GPAs before and after bullying occurred, and "found that black students who had obtained a GPA of 3.5 in 9th grade and were bullied in the 10th had a GPA 0.3 points lower in the 12th grade."
