Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that having a larger social network and more friends can decrease the likelihood of being victimized by bullies. This is because having more friends provides a support system and makes it less likely that a particular individual will become a target for bullies. Option B is not recommended as increasing aggressive behavior is likely to escalate the situation and increase the risk of violence. Option C may be helpful in managing the emotional impact of bullying, but it does not address the root of the problem. Option D is not a viable solution as time-outs are typically used as a punishment for misbehavior and have no relevance to the issue of bullying.
