A one on one interview for about ten minutes, in which I could understand in details and comprehend their actions through the way, they would answer a question. One interesting method I have used is showing them a small movie about kids being bullied and I would ask them what their thoughts were about it.

After a series of questions a correlation began to unveil that adults that had been bullied directly through physical action or by verbal abuse had showed signs of emotional entrapment and a repetition in abuse. These results specific for the adults were split into 65% showing direct repetition of abuse and 35% showing indifference. The 65 percent that showed repetitive abuse were more likely to perform physical abuse if they were physically abused and the 35% that were emotionally abused or verbally bullied showed no signs of reoccurring verbal abuse. These results translated into the younger age group ranging from 8 till 18. When questioned, this age group showed an astounding 75 %/ 25 % ratio where 75 % of these children explicitly bullied other children in school and siblings at home as a result of being exposed to such bulling; and the other 25 % showed signs of intervention and fear but not of bulling. These results made sense
