“…Therefore, the personality is disturbed, disintegrated, and hit by some psychological diseases that lead them to think about suicide. This result is consistent with some other studies (Stuart, 2011;John, 2018;Hollis, 2019;Duan, 2020).…”

“…Tabet et al (2019) have indicated that bullying or abuse harms an individual's identity and develops the symptoms of depression, social isolation, and environmental pressures. It is found that despair, depression, trauma, violence, exposure to abuse in all its forms, life stress, aggressive behavior, and low levels of self-esteem are related to suicidal thinking (Al-Mashaan 2010; Aoe, 2016;John, 2018;Hollis, 2019;Duan, 2020).…”

“…Bullying leads to many problems, including low academic achievement, suicide attempts, and violent & deadly acts at all education levels (Chibbaro, 2013). Several studies have examined the relevance between bullying and suicide or having suicidal thoughts (Marisa, 2012;Williams, 2017;Hollis, 2019;Duan, 2020). Mental immunity is one of the most important methods of preventing psychological and social problems.…”

The research aims to identify the causal model that explains the relationship between academic bullying, psychological immunity, and suicidal thinking among university students. Besides, it recognizes gender differences in research variables. The sample has consisted of (134) male and (139) female students from Prince Sattam bin Abdul-Aziz University and King Faisal University for the academic year 2020-2021. The researcher prepared the academic bullying scale and the suicidal thinking scale, and the psychological immunity scale was taken from the study of Al-Takhaina. The study has shown a statistically significant correlation between academic bullying and suicidal thinking. There are statistically significant differences between males and females in academic bullying and suicidal thinking favoring females. The results have also shown statistically significant differences between males and females in psychological immunity favoring males. The research recommends launching counseling and training programs for both bullies and bullying victims to gain insight into their behaviors and rectify them.

“…A total of 12 354 questionnaires were completed and returned and the response rate was 83.2%. The study design and study participants have been described in a previous publication (Duan et al ., 2020). All students (6688 boys and 5666 girls) answered the question about their birth-assigned sex; however, there were 43 boys and 73 girls who did not specify to which sex they were attracted to and were therefore excluded from further analysis.…”

Aims Compared to their heterosexual peers, youth who identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual (LGB) tend to suffer higher rates of peer victimisation from bullying. However, studies of LGB adolescents' participation as bullies are scarce. We aimed to examine the possible association of sexual minority identity and the heightened risk of not only being bullied but bullying others as well. We also explored the effect of one's sexual identity on their involvement in bullying through the mediation of coping strategies and mood states. Methods A total of 12 218 students were recruited from 18 secondary schools in China. The demographic information, positive and negative coping strategies, mood state (anxiety, depression and hypomania) and information related to bullying and being bullied were collected. Multinomial regression was used to assess the heightened risk of sexual minority groups in comparison to their heterosexual adolescents' counterparts. A structural equation model (SEM) was used to test the mediating role of coping strategy and mood state between one's sex, sexual identity and bullying experience. Results Two trends could be observed: (1) LGB groups reported heightened risks of being bullied and bullying others at school than heterosexual peers. However, being a sexual-undeveloped girl seemed to have a protective effect on bullying-related problems. (2) Birth-assigned males were more likely to be bullied as well as bullying others at school when compared to birth-assigned females. SEM analysis revealed that being a sexual minority was directly associated with a higher frequency of being bullied (B = 0.16, 95% CI [0.10, 0.22], p < 0.001) but not bullying others (B = 0.02, 95% CI [−0.02, 0.06], p = 0.398) when compared to the heterosexual group. Negative coping, hypomania, anxiety and depression were associated with a higher frequency of being bullied, while positive coping was associated with a lower frequency of being bullied. Moreover, negative coping, hypomania and depression were associated with a higher frequency of bullying others, while positive coping was associated with a reduced likelihood of bullying others. In addition, being bullied and bullying others were significantly correlated in the SEM model. Conclusions This novel research investigated the dynamic nature of the interaction between victim and bullying of LGB school adolescents in China, with a specific exploration of the psychological mechanism behind the pattern of being bullied and bullying others. School-level interventions aimed at teaching positive coping strategies to lower psychological distress are recommended to support sexual minority students.
