Scholarly:
ADAMS, FRANK D., and GLORIA J. LAWRENCE. "Bullying Victims: The Effects Last Into College." American Secondary Education 40.1 (2011): 4-13. Academic Search Complete. Web. 4 Oct. 2012.

The following terms to describe the characteristics and lasting effects of bullying: safety, exclusion, isolation, abuse, alienation, lonely and a rite of passage.

I plan to use this source as a major reference because it is a comprehensive study about the lasting effects of bullied people.

Popular:
Bhanoo, Sindya N. "Effects of Early Bullying Don't Last in Birds." New York Times 28 June 2011: 3. TOPICsearch. Web. 4 Oct. 2012.
This is an article that says that birds that were bullied by their hatchling siblings showed no difference in aggression when intruders invaded their nests.

This is a counter argument that could possibly be used to break down my argument about bullying, but I can argue that humans are more sophisticated than birds. These birds are going off instinct. Parents protecting their children wouldn’t differ if they were bullied at a young age, so it is not surprising a bird would be similar.
