Here at the U of M, professor Nicki Crick of the Institute of Child Development is studying relational aggression in children and the forms aggression takes. Crick has shown that social exclusion and rumor spreading are more characteristic of young girls than the physical aggression that has been studied in the past. Her studies indicate that children who engage in bullying of all kinds may be at risk of developing social and psychological problems such as peer rejection and problematic friendships. Crick hopes that her research will help find a solution to aggression before it starts. Sounds as though she's on the path to finding a pleasant solution.
