Listen to Professor Dieter Wolke talk about childhood bullying on Bar Crawl Radio
Were you bullied in middle school? Were you the bully? This BCR is for you. We talked with Simone Ellin – a journalist who sought out those in her middle school “cool girl clique” who befriended and then bullied her. Now grown — some would not talk to her but several did – and her recent re-telling of her experiences in Lilith magazine and the Huffington Post went viral; her Facebook creds skyrocketed. And as she writes in Jmore – “Finally I am the popular girl.”
Also, we spoke with Dieter Wolke, a psychological researcher at The University of Warwick near Coventry, England, who studies the long-term effects of bullying on the bully and victim. His findings may surprise you.
