Bullying

 Any child can be victimized, and any child can become a bully.  Work with school officials to make sure that they are aware of the bully and have an anti-bullying strategy.

There are numerous kinds of bullying such as physical, mental or emotionally abusing another person.

• Physical bullying involves hitting, pushing or shoving, kicking, spitting, or physical aggression to another person.
• verbal bullying involves mocking, name-calling, teasing/taunting, threatening words, or making fun of someone
• social alienation involves gossiping, humiliating someone in public, spreading rumours, excluding someone from the group, giving dirty looks
• other forms of bullying are threatening with a weapon, defacing property, stealing, racist or sexist comments, daring someone to do something dangerous.
