Bullying:

Bullying is: intentional, hurtful, repeated behavior that humiliates, or harms another person physically or emotionally.

There is also a real or perceived “imbalance of power,” which is described as when the student with bullying behavior has more “power,” either physically, socially, or emotionally, such as a higher social status, or is physically larger or emotionally intimidating.

Types of Bullying: physical behaviors, verbal, cyber.

Bullying has implications for all students: Bullying is not just about the implications for those targeted by the behaviors, this behavior can impact all students in the school, including witnesses and those that engage in the behavior.
