孩子们通常被鼓励向成年人讲述欺凌行为。尽管告诉可以有效地结束欺凌行为，但成年人的反应不一定是有帮助的。以前的研究很少包括受害者自己的想法和感受，即成年人的行为和反应被认为是积极和有益的，而哪些行为和反应被认为是消极的，对管理欺凌情况没有帮助。本文报道了对受欺凌青少年的访谈，总体目的是从受欺凌青少年的角度描述成年人对欺凌的反应，并讨论青少年如何经历这些反应。分析包括扎根的理论，强调受害青年的观点。当成年人意识到欺凌时，他们会以三种方式做出反应：口头的、身体的或回避/忽视。包括更多成年人在场的反应通常是有帮助的，年轻人认为成年人倾听而不指责受害者欺凌，或者倾听而不为欺凌青年的行为开脱的回应也是如此。参与者没有明确地描述为有帮助的反应，尽管当成年人避免或忽视欺凌行为时，这永远不会有帮助。
Children are generally encouraged to tell adults about bullying. Although telling can be effective in ending bullying, adults do not necessarily respond in a way that is helpful. Previous research has rarely included victims' own thoughts and feelings regarding what adult actions and reactions are experienced as positive and helpful, and which are experienced as negative and unhelpful in managing bullying situations. This paper reports on interviews with bullied youth, with the overall aims of describing adults' responses to bullying from the victimized youth's perspectives and discussing how the youth experienced these responses. The analysis comprised grounded theory, emphasizing the victimized youth's points of view. When adults became aware of bullying, they responded in three ways; verbal, physical or avoiding/ignoring. Responses that included increasing adult presence were typically experienced as helpful, as were responses whereby the youth felt adults listened without blaming the victim for the bullying or, listened without excusing the behaviour of the youth that bullied. No response was depicted by the participants as unambiguously helpful although when adults avoided or ignored the bullying it was never helpful.
