Social exclusion has been shown to be linked to various potential problems as it progresses. Increased aggression (Twenge, Baumeister, DeWall, Ciarocco, & Bartels, 2007) is possible, towards both peers, family, and teachers/superiors. Other long-term problems of social exclusion include poor choices regarding personal health (Oaten, Williams, Jones, & Zadro, 2008) and according to Maner, DeWall, Baumeister, Schaller, & Pers (as cited by Peake et al., 2013), desperate attempts to fit in may occur as well, which can lead to high-risk behavior. Essentially, as Dani's social exclusion persists, she is at a greater risk for the aformentioned negative behaviors, as well as others, as a way to endear herself and gain acceptance from her peers.
