What are some examples of bullying behavior?
People bully others in many different ways.
Some bullying is PHYSICAL. This includes things like cornering, shoving, hitting, pinching, kicking, or pulling someone’s hair.
Some bullying is VERBAL. This includes making threats, calling people names, and putting others down.
Still, others are mainly
PSYCHOLOGICAL. You know how this feels if you’ve ever been the recipient of rude gestures, dirty looks, or
intentionally being left out!
Sometimes just the THOUGHT of being bullied can be almost as bad as the
reality. Once any of the above actually happens, you might begin thinking you’re being bullied, even when you’re not! MIND games! More torture.
In addition to being mean, some forms of bullying are actually against the law.
These include:
THEFT – stealing or taking someone’s belongings without permission
ASSAULT – deliberately threatening people and making them afraid about to be physically hurt or harmed in some way
BATTERY – purposely having unwanted, hurtful physical contact with another person
HATE CRIMES – physically harming someone because of race, religion,
national origin, sexual orientation, or
disability
EXTORTION – forcing people to hand over money or property
HAZING – making new club or team members do dangerous or humiliating things
