Finally, a group of studies concerned social relationships in and around the classrooms, expressed for instance in
bullying versus victimization of
bullying, 35 antisocial
vs prosocial
behaviour36 and classroom social status.37 These studies have demonstrated how important the school social environment is for the development of mental health problems in adolescents, and how important the familial background is for predicting who among the adolescents develops antisocial
behaviour (or
bullying behaviour) and who becomes the victim of other children's
behaviour.
