A short-term investigation of over 500 middle school
students (grades 6-8) found an increase in bullying
behavior among sixth-graders over a 4-
month period
(Espelage, Bosworth, & Simon, 2001). The authors
speculated that the sixth-graders were assimilating into
the middle school, where bullying behavior was part of
the school culture. This speculation is supported by the
theory that bullying is a learned behavior, and that as
they enter middle school, sixth-graders have not yet
learned how to interact positively in the social milieu of
the school. Many sixth-graders who wish to "fit in" may
adopt the behaviors—including teasing—of those
students who have been in the school longer and who
have more power to dictate the social norm.

Which two elements does this excerpt from a christmas carol by charles dickens contain? "a small matter," said the ghost, “to make these silly folks so full of gratitude." "small! " echoed scrooge. the spirit signed to him to listen to the two apprentices, who were pouring out their hearts in praise of fezziwig: and when he had done so, said, "why! is it not? he has spent but a few pounds of your mortal money: three or four perhaps. is that so much that he deserves this praise? " "it isn’t that," said scrooge, heated by the remark, and speaking unconsciously like his former, not his latter, self. "it isn't that, spirit. he has the power to render us happy or unhappy; to make our service light or burdensome; a pleasure or a toil. say that his power lies in words and looks; in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count ’em up: what then? the happiness he gives, is quite as great as if it cost a fortune." he felt the spirit's glance, and stopped. "what is the matter? " asked the ghost. "nothing particular," said scrooge. "something, i think? " the ghost insisted. "no," said scrooge, "no. i should like to be able to say a word or two to my clerk just now. that's all."
