WHAT IS BULLYING?
Bullying is intentional aggressive behavior. It can take the form of physical or
verbal harassment and involves an imbalance of power (a group of
children can gang up on a victim or someone who is physically bigger or
more aggressive can intimidate someone else, for instance).
Bullying behavior can include teasing, insulting someone (particularly about
their weight or height, race, sexuality, religion or other personal traits),
shoving, hitting, excluding someone, or gossiping about someone.
Bullying can cause a victim to feel upset, afraid, ashamed, embarrassed,
and anxious about going to school. It can involve children of any age,
including younger elementary grade-schoolers and even
kindergarteners. Bullying behavior is frequently repeated unless there is
intervention.
WHAT IS NOT BULLYING?
Not liking someone
Being excluded
Accidentally bumping into someone
Making someone play things “your way”
A single act of telling a joke about someone
Arguments
Expression of unpleasant thoughts about someone else
