Childhood bullying involvement and later suicidality: longitudinal analyses from The Danish National Birth Cohort
Childhood bullying was associated with a higher risk of suicidality during adolescence. Girl, but not boy, perpetrators had increased risk of SI and SA. These findings emphasise the importance of preventive interventions targeting bullying in childhood and its long-term effects, including possible differences in policies for boys and girls.
