High profile media reports of young people committing suicide after
experiencing bullying have propelled a national conversation about
the nature and scope of this problem and the means to address it.
Specialists have long known that involvement in bullying in any
capacity (as the victim or as the perpetrator) is associated with
higher rates of suicidal ideation and behaviors, but evidence about
which bullying subtype is at greatest risk is more mixed. For
instance, some studies have shown that the association between
suicidal ideation and bullying is stronger for targets of bullying
than perpetrators. However, another study found that after
controlling for depression, the association was strongest for
perpetrators. Similar disagreement persists with regard to gender
disparities relating to bullying and self-harm, for instance.
Youth Suicide and Bullying presents an authoritative review of the
science demonstrating the links between these two major public
health concerns alongside informed discussion and evidence-based
recommendations. The volume provides sound, scientifically
grounded, and effective advice about bullying and suicide at every
level: national, state, and community. Chapters provide details on
models of interpersonal aggression; groups at risk for both
bullying and suicide (such as sexual minorities); the role of
stigma; family, school, and community-based youth bullying and
suicide prevention programs, and more. Each chapter concludes with
recommendations for mental health providers, educators, and
policymakers. Compiling knowledge from the most informed experts
and providing authoritative research-based information, this volume
supports efforts to better understand and thereby reduce the
prevalence of victimization and suicide.
