Bullying Does Not Improve Your Popularity or Social Status

A study produced by CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 and UC Davis Sociologists Robert Faris and Diane Felmlee found that schoolyard bullies are not just preying on the weak.

Suprisingly, the study found that kids were not clearly defined as either "bullies" or "victims" but they fluctuated roles from week to week.

It's also believed that family background does not determine aggressive behavior.  Instead, it often depends on the persons social status in the "school hierarchy."

Fortunately, it appears that aggresive behavior does not improve one's status in the social heirarchy.  But aggresive behavior appears to influence aggressive behavior among friends.
