Seaman NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - School children who are bullied are more than twice as likely to think about killing themselves and to make suicide attempts as their peers who aren't bullied, according to a new analysis. Researchers also found that cyberbullying, such as harassment over the Internet, was more closely linked to suicidal thoughts than in-person bullying. &quot;We found that suicidal thoughts and attempted suicides are significantly related to bullying, a highly prevalent behavior among adolescents,&quot; Mitch van Geel told Reuters Health in an email. Van Geel is the study's lead author from the Institute of Education and Child Studies at Leiden University in the Netherlands.</p><br clear="all"/>
