What is Bullying?
Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children of all ages that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time.
The behavior may be aggressive and include:
- An Imbalance of Power and one's control: Kids who bully use their power such as physical strength, access to embarrassing information, or popularity to control or harm others. Power imbalances can change over time and in different situations, even if they involve the same people. This behavior causes the child aggressor to overpower an innocent child.
- Repetition: Bullying behaviors happen more than once or have the potential to happen more than once and may occur against the same victim.
- Aggressive Behavior: Children will call this type of behavior as "being mean". This involves actions such as hitting, kicking, threatening, name-calling, spreading rumors, or social exclusion.
Bullying includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose. Bullying is not just "teasing" or conflict between peers of equal power. It is a persistent, unwanted, and harmful action. It can occur anywhere—in person or online—and has severe mental and physical impacts, often leading to feelings of loneliness, depression, and fear and can affect an individual for their entire life if not dealt with.
Whether bullying is physical, verbal, or social (relational), four widely-accepted factors can be used to identify it:
- Bullying is deliberate - harming another person intentionally
- Bullying involves a misuse of power in a relationship
- Bullying is usually not a one-off - it is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated over time
- Bullying involves behavior that can cause harm - it is not a normal part of growing up.
