Highschool is perhaps a goldmine to study in terms of blackpills, for various reasons which we're all well acquainted with. In essence, HS is the place which serves to define how your life will be:

Another fat L for ":soy::Highschool doesn't mean shit bro! Life begins after HS!" copERs and another certified W for HS is the start of life enjoyERs.:smonk: So I stumbled upon this old article from around 2013, a bit outdated by now but it still provides us with valuable insight. :feelswhere...

So how could hormones possibly factor into bullying, one may ask?
This study explored it quite well, and shows interesting findings:
Seemingly, lower levels of cortisol seemingly were associated with being involved as a bully.In our previous study we analyzed the effects of testosterone and cortisol jointly with contextual factors on bullying behavior, exploring three different roles (victim, bully, bully/victim). Results showed that lower cortisol levels, together with a worse perceived school environment and less peer and social support, were associated with bullying involvement as a bully
Interestingly enough, it has been shown that levels of cortisol seemingly correlate inversely with testosterone levels:
Human research has shown the administration of cortisol into the circulation at rest will result in reduced blood testosterone levels. Many researchers have used these results to imply that physical exercise induced cortisol increases would perhaps result in subsequent reductions in circulating testosterone levels

Boys who experienced moderate victimization had lower levels of hair cortisol, whereas boys who experienced higher victimization showed higher hair cortisol concentrations [51].
So in other words, being bullied can contribute to hair loss on top of the genetic factor.Results showed a trend association between being involved in bullying as a bully/victim and higher hair cortisol concentration (HCC).
Bullying -quite literally- ages you.
Franky, I also think just general social ostracizing counts as a form of bullying. Clearly, it produces similar chemical reactions.Most of them found that bullying or peer rejection was associated with higher total cortisol levels
So in other words, people who are picked on will act upon their natural, human inclinations which have evolved over thousands of years.Finally, one study observed that, at high levels of victimization, children with high cortisol levels presented not only higher levels of aggressiveness, but also higher levels of frustration
