The Effects of Bullying on Human Behavior

Chester Ross Kearney was tormented by bullies at school. He compared his childhood to the fictional character Carrie White from Stephen King's novel, Carrie. A study found that juvenile hamsters who were bullied became more aggressive toward smaller animals while being fearful and subordinate with hamsters of similar size or larger. This bullying may very well have pushed Kearney along his murderous path.
