Shes Weird! - The Social Construction of Bullying in School: A Review of Qualitative Research (2011, background): “The perception among students that there is no point in telling teachers about bullying has also been found in other studies (Lloyd and Stead, 2001; Oliver and Candappa, 2007; Thomson and Gunter, 2008).”
Telling is compelling: the impact of student reports of bullying on teacher intervention (2010, background): “…concerned that their reports might be dismissed as inaccurate or unbelievable, worry that teachers might reveal their report which could result in reprisals (Oliver & Candappa, 2007), or feel that telling a teacher will make the situation worse in some way (Fekkes et al., 2005; Smith & Shu, 2000).”
The Role of Teachers in Bullying: The Relation between Antibullying Attitudes, Efficacy, and Efforts to Reduce Bullying. (2014, background): “…students are concerned that if they report bullying incidents, their reports may be dismissed as unbelievable, or that peers will find out, which could result in reprisals (Fekkes, Pijpers, & Verloove-Vanhorick, 2005; Newman & Murray, 2005; Newman, Murray, & Lussier, 2001; Oliver & Candappa, 2007).”

Assessing students’ views of school climate: Developing and validating the What’s Happening In This School? (WHITS) questionnaire (2013, background): “…research indicates that adolescents often are unwilling to report and seek help if school rules are broken (Eliot, Cornell, Gregory, & Fan, 2010; Oliver & Candappa, 2007), with the rate at which students seek help declining considerably in the middle years of schooling (Williams & Cornell,…”
Cyber-Victimisation: The Association Between Help-Seeking Behaviours and Self-Reported Emotional Symptoms in Australia and Austria (2010, background): “More recently, Oliver and Candappa (2007) reported that a student’s reluctance to tell may be based on either a concern that teachers might not believe their report or a worry that teachers might reveal their report (inadvertently or otherwise), which could lead to further victimisation.”
