What Is Bullying?
Bullying is repeated aggressive behavior, which can be:
Physical: hitting, pushing, or taking belongings
Verbal: teasing, name-calling, or threats
Social: excluding, spreading rumors, or manipulating friendships
Even subtle behaviors can affect a child’s emotional health and sense of security.
