Many theorists do say that aggression starts early and often manifests as bullying behavior in school situations. It also pays to note that there is a growing body of literature
that demonstrates daily school-yard aggression can develop into more serious conflict as well as violence as children grow older (Dishion et al., 1988; Loeber et al., 1993 as cited in
Leff, Power & Manz et al. 2001). With this in mind, there is a case to be made for the fact that bullying is aligned with biology
or inborn personality. It may not be environmental at all. Others go further and suggest that aggression can be hormone dependent. Yet, the question that is posed by a student
is whether or not aggression can be "hormone independent." The problem here is whether or not aggression is related to hormones at all. Do hormones really drive behavior? First,
a look at aggression and how it manifests early in life is appropriate. Research on the etiology as well as the maintenance of aggression does suggest gender
differences in aggressive behavior (Halloran, Doumas, Richard & Gayla, 1999). Some research regarding the modeling of aggressive behavior had revealed gender differences, as boys were more likely than
girls to display aggressive tendencies which were learned through imitating the behavior of a model (Bandura & Walters, 1963 as cited in Halloran, Doumas, Richard & Gayla, 1999). Aggression present
in the family environment is clearly related to childrens aggressive behavior patterns (Emery, 1982; Fantuzzo & Lindquist, 1989; Grych & Fincham, 1990 as cited in Halloran, Doumas, Richard & Gayla,
1999). Exposure to familial aggression seems to be related to adjustment for boys more often than for girls (Carlson, 1990; Doumas, Margolin, & John, 1994; Emery & OLeary, 1982;
