This study investigated connections between sexual and gender minority youths’ (SGMY) experiences with bullying victimization and their experiences with punishment. We interviewed 20 diverse adolescents (X = 18.45) about their experiences with bullying and school discipline. Using a qualitative mapping technique, we analyzed the pathways between victimization and punishment that emerged from our participants’ narratives. Our analyses revealed that among the adolescents who had experienced victimization related to their sexual orientation and/or gender identity (or expression) (n = 17), most of them (n = 15) had also experienced punishment connected to their victimization. We identified five pathways linking victimization and bullying. Further, we found that the majority of participants were navigating school contexts rife with pervasive and ongoing harassment and that adults ineffectively intervened and often compounded the harm experienced.

被欺负和受到惩罚：探讨性少数和性少数年轻人的欺凌与纪律之间的联系。

这项研究调查了性少数和青年中遭受欺凌的性行为与惩罚行为之间的联系。我们采访了20位不同的青少年（X  = 18.45），了解他们在欺凌和学校纪律方面的经历。使用定性映射技术，我们分析了参与者叙述中出现的受害与惩罚之间的关系。我们的分析表明，在遭受过与自己的性取向和/或性别认同（或表达）有关的伤害的青少年中（n  = 17），其中大多数（n = 15）也遭受过与受害有关的惩罚。我们确定了联系受害和欺凌的五种途径。此外，我们发现大多数参与者在学校环境中充斥着无处不在且持续的骚扰，而成年人却没有进行有效的干预，并且常常加剧了所遭受的伤害。
