What is bullying?
BULLYING is aggressive behavior that is intended to physically or emotionally harm another person. Bullying differs from normal conflict in that:
-
It is deliberate and targeted.
-
It involves an imbalance of physical or psychological power. The power advantage of one student over another may be due to social status, age, size, ability, and/or popularity.
-
It is repetitive.
