BULLYING- Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among students that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior can be isolated or repeated over time.
The repeated acts or gestures can include:
verbal or written communications transmitted, physical acts committed, or any other behaviors committed by a student or group of students against another student with the intent to harass, ridicule, humiliate, intimidate, or harm the student lacking power.
PEER CONFLICT- Peer conflict differs from bullying because involved parties are mutually agreeing through demonstrated actions that they are in conflict with each other. Bullying is one-sided. When people say hurtful things to each other or refuse to speak to each other, that is considered peer conflict. Also, if a person is spreading rumors about you and you have ALSO been spreading rumors or talking bad about them, that is considered conflict.
