What is a bullying?
A pattern of repeated behavior that is meant to hurt someone and has an imbalance of power. Not every instance of mean behavior is bullying. Bullying has these criteria:
*Misuse of power (one-sided)- not teasing back and forth, not a 2-sided argument, one side has more power
*Intentional- not on accident
*Repeated- not a one time name call or harassment
*Harmful- can take three forms:
Physical: hitting, spitting, stealing or damaging belongings
Verbal: threats, lying to cause trouble, name-calling
Psychological: intimidation, social exclusion, spreading rumors
