This study investigated psychiatric symptoms and deviance at the age of 15 years among children involved in bullying at the age of 8 years or at the age of 12 years. Furthermore, the relationships between involvement in bullying at the age of 8 years, concurrent psychiatric deviance, and later psychiatric deviance were studied. Questionnaires filled in by the parents, teachers and children themselves were used to reveal psychiatric symptoms and deviance. Concludes that bullying experiences are connected not only to concurrent psychiatric symptoms but also to future psychiatric symptoms., Furthermore, the probability of being deviant in adolescence is increased if the child has been involved in bullying at elementary school age.
