Victims more likely to become bullies, finds study

A GROWING number of children being bullied at school are bullying others as they try to cope with their own difficulties, researchers warned yesterday.

Teachers have urged the Department of Education to review their guidelines to take such changes into account text, email and chatroom bullying.

Psychologists have also warned that so-called bully/victims - children who are victim and tormentor - are often the most vulnerable in the playground.
