Sue Bailey, professor of forensic child and adolescent psychiatry at the University of Central Lancashire stated that school girls that bully the others are most likely to become mothers in their teen years. They will get pregnant due to violent relationships with men and this thing will further affect the relationship between the young
mothers and their children.

The mother-child relationship will be governed by aggressive behavior, as the mother will subject her child to "harsh parenting, interpreting normal infant behavior as being intentionally hostile," said the professor.

The psychiatrist claimed at the Royal College of Psychiatrists conference that her experience with children and teenagers showed that bully girls often turn into bully mothers that are "prone to maternal irritability".

Then she addressed her colleagues a question: "How exactly does 'girl talk' ignite into hurtful, interpersonal aggression and how does that aggression lead to some girls becoming physically violent towards their peers, adults and romantic partners?"

She herself answered to the question, saying that the cause that leads to violent behavior in the future mothers rests in the fact that they do not develop appropriate relationships and are not able communicate with the others.

The bully girls cannot communicate with the others because they feel they do not receive enough help and understanding from them. This is why Professor Sue Bailey claims that the aggressive schoolgirls should be provided with a lot of care and attention by their parents, relatives, friends - exactly like in the case of bully boys.
