Bullying
What Is Bullying?
- Bullying happens when individuals or group of people continues to hurt, frighten, threaten, or exclude another person on purpose. It’s often a repeated activity, with a particular child singled out over and over again.
- Bullying involves an imbalance of power, where the child who bullies has more power (due to factors like age, size, or higher social status) than the targeted child.
- There’s not just one profile of a child who is bullied—any child can be singled out for any reason.
