Q: What behaviors qualify as bullying?

A: Bullying can range from simple name-calling to more serious behaviors such as threats, stealing and physical assault that, outside of school, are against the law. What differentiates bullying from other aggression is that it is repeated over time, and there is an imbalance of power. Bullies have some real or perceived advantage over their victims, such as having more friends or money, being bigger, or wearing the right clothes. Kids who bully often have poor social skills—difficulty with establishing relationships—and perform badly in school. But that is not true for all bullies; some have good social skills and use these skills to get information—which they then use against their victims—and influence others to follow them.

Study raises concerns about outdoor second-hand smoke

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:00:00 PST

Indoor smoking bans have forced smokers at bars and restaurants onto outdoor patios, but a new University of Georgia study in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests that these outdoor smoking areas might be creating a new health hazard. The study, thought to be the first to assess levels of a nicotine byproduct known as cotinine in nonsmokers exposed to second-hand smoke outdoors, found levels up to 162 percent greater than in the control group. The results appear in the November issue of the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene.
