Study: Children Who Are Dorks More Likely To Be Bullied


The Turnip News
Kids are at a higher risk of being bullied at school if they are absolute raging dweebs, according to a new review of 70 studies looking at Canadian elementary schools. The study revealed that children who are mocked or given wedgies on a regular basis, are almost always a dork in some form or another. Wearing ugly sweaters their mommy made them, sporting huge nerdy glasses or just being a sniveling little doofus all were contributing factors to kids being victimized by bigger, older, cooler bullies.  

 


“We found that if little Johnny was a cry-baby and had some kind of peanut allergy, bullies would target him rather than another kid who WASN’T a complete spazz,” said Professor David Wolke, from the University of Ottawa who headlined the research review.

“Take this kid from Windsor, Ontario for example,” explained Wolke showing a research video of some little punk being given a swirly in the boys washroom. “If this kid didn’t make it so obvious to everyone that he was a Nancy-Pants and collected Pokemon, he would have been left alone. But no, he got what he deserved unfortunately,” said Wolke.
