Social Aggression

My Childhood Experience and Social Aggression


I remember vividly as a child getting picked on by boys and my girl "friends". Social aggression is still happening with children today. This means that I will be able to have an effect on the rising generations and teaching my own children how to stop social aggression. I remember my mom writing letters to my teachers about how other girls were picking on me and that this needed to stop. I don't remember what results came from my mom doing this... maybe my teacher spoke to the girls and the girls mother's. I am not sure. It is so sad that bullying happens. 
I watched a lecture put on by The Department of Family Studies for the Marjorie Hinckley celebration. Marion Underwood who is a psychologist, who teaches at University of Texas gave the presentation.
I am going to attach the link below. 
Marion's lecture and research is amazing and has done so much to brighten my understanding of social aggression.
