Bullying

Bullying 

Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Both kids who are bullied and who bully others may have serious, lasting problems. 

In order to be considered bullying, the behavior must be aggressive and include:

An Imbalance of Power: Kids who bully use their power—such as physical strength, access to embarrassing information, or popularity—to control or harm others. Power imbalances can change over time and in different situations, even if they involve the same people.

Repetition: Bullying behaviors happen more than once or have the potential to happen more than once.

There are three types of bullying:

Verbal bullying is saying or writing mean things. Verbal bullying includes:

1. Teasing

2. Name-calling

Social bullying, sometimes referred to as relational bullying, involves hurting someone’s reputation 

or relationships. Social bullying includes:

1. Leaving someone out on purpose

2. Telling other children not to be friends with someone

Physical bullying involves hurting a person’s body or possessions. Physical bullying includes:

1. Hitting/kicking/pinching

2. Spitting

3. Tripping/pushing
