Most kids experience some sort of teasing while at school, but bullying is different. A bully has power over another child and uses fear to gain that control. There are three types of bullying:
- Physical bullying includes hitting, punching, biting and other forms of physical abuse.
- Verbal bullying is the use words to threaten, scare and demean another child.
- Social bullying is when a bully intentionally leaves a child out of an activity or starts rumors about the other child.
It’s important for a child being bullied to know it’s not their fault. This can empower him or her.
