BACKGROUND: Psychological and educational correlates of bullying have been
explored extensively. However, little information is available about the link
between bullying and sexual risk-taking behaviors among adolescents, though for
some youth it may be that sexual risk taking emerges in response to bullying
involvement. Associations for both heterosexual youth and those who identify as
gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or questioning (GLBTQ) should be considered,
as should the influence of victimization exposures in other domains. Accordingly,
associations among bullying, other victimization forms, and sexual risk-taking
behaviors were examined among adolescents with particular consideration to sexual
orientation. METHODS: A sample of 8687 high school students completed the Dane
County Youth Survey, a countywide survey administered high school students from
24 schools. Participants were asked questions about their bullying involvement
and sexual risk-taking behaviors (ie, engaging in casual sex and having sex while
under the influence of alcohol or drugs). RESULTS: Results indicated that bullies
and bully-victims were more likely to engage in casual sex and sex under the
influence. In multivariate analyses, these findings held even after controlling
for demographic characteristics and victimization exposures in other domains, but
primarily for heterosexual youth. CONCLUSIONS: Bullies and bully-victims engaged
in more sexual risk-taking behaviors, although patterns of association varied by
sexual orientation. Bullying prevention programs and programs aimed at reducing
unhealthy sexual practices should consider a broader stress and coping
perspective and address the possible link between the stress of bullying
involvement and maladaptive coping responses.
