What is Bullying?

Bullying is repeated harrassment over a period of time, and is done in a way that makes it difficult for the person being bullied to defend themselves.  Bullying can take many different forms, but essentially there are three different types:

-Verbal bullying, including:

  • Teasing
  • Sarcasm
  • Name calling
  • Continually ignoring someone
  • Racist and/or sexual remarks
-Physical bullying, including:
  • Taking your money or personal belongings
  • Pushing, hitting, kicking and punching
  • Sexual abuse, including unwanted physical contact or comments

-Indirect Bulling, including:

  • Spreading rumours or starting gossip about you
  • Getting you into trouble for no real reason
  • Excluding you
  • Sending you hurtful messages via text messages, email, telephone or letters
