Adhd in Children

Before focusing on the main question that addresses who typically bullies and any antecedent factors behind such, I feel the need to first talk about any ties that bullying and behavioral problems might have.

Children with ODD problems also show similar behaviors as those suffering from ADHD, by exhibiting hostility, refusal to comply with rules and others.
