STOP BULLYING NOW!

What is bullying?

Bullying happens when someone who is stronger or more powerful hurts, frightens, threatens, or leaves some one out on purpose. It is one sided and unfair.

What is meant by being strong and powerful is that someone has the ability to influence another’s decision. It does not mean that the individual is necessarily physically larger, although they may be.

Three Categories of Bullying

Physical bullying

Examples: physical contact with another person such as hitting,
                kicking, spitting, choking

Verbal Bullying

Examples: teasing, saying unkind words, name calling

Psychological Bullying

Examples: socially excluding someone from your group or playing
                mind games
