A one-paragraph summary of the article Bullying in Early Adolescence.

One notable gap in the evolving literature on bullying and victimization during early adolescence is the role that peers play in promoting such behavior by either reinforcing the aggressor, failing to intervene to stop the victimization, or affiliating with students who bully. This Digest looks at the limited research available on the role of the peer group in bullying to learn more about how bullying and victimization might emerge or continue during early adolescence. The Digest notes definitions of bullying, research on changes in the function and importance of the peer group at early adolescence, evidence that peers play an instrumental role in bullying and victimization even at the elementary school level, and research on the dynamics of needing to "fit in" during transition to middle school. Factors such as age and sex on the influence of peer group on bullying are also examined. The Digest concludes by noting that it cannot be assumed that bullying among young adolescents is a simple interaction between bully and victim; rather there are groups who support and sometimes participate in this behavior.

Explanation:

the legal limit for the drivers who can drive after consuming any amount of alcohol is 21 years.

explanation:

on november 1, 1996, a "zero tolerance law" was put into effect in the new york state.

according to this zero tolerance law, for people under the age of 21 years, it was illegal to purchase and possess alcohol or to drive after consuming any amount of it.

also, the alcohol involvement rate for the drivers under the age of 21 was roughly twice that of elderly drivers.
