this little tidbit was on the geeknews network this morning. i question the accuracy of the conclusion if the bullies happen to be wearing police badges. i can't see how standing up to cops who are bullies can have any positive effects.

It will come as no surprise to anyone who's ever talked to my grandpa,
but a recent study has shown that [0]standing up to a bully is good for
you. Although being bullied can be stressful and lead to depression,
children who returned hostility were found more likely to develop healthy
social and emotional skills. From the article: "In a study of American
children aged 11 and 12, researchers from the University of California,
Los Angeles, compared those who stood up to aggressors with those who did
not. Children who returned hostility with hostility appeared to be the
most mature, the researchers found. Boys who stood up to bullies and
schoolyard enemies were judged more socially competent by their teachers.
Girls who did the same were more popular and more admired by teachers and
peers, the researchers found."
