Young people who are being bullied are especially likely to feel trapped and alone because they usually don’t have a choice about where they live, go to school, or play. Bullying takes place between people of all ages, identities, and walks of life. Bullying can happen anywhere people gather, either in the real world or the virtual world. Bullying behavior occurs in schools, sports, youth groups, work places, social groups, senior centers, and online activities. People can bully others directly, in person indirectly, such as by gossiping or ‘badmouthing’ by voice to others or through any form of communication technology including talking on the phone, writing, texting, emailing, recording, and in gaming environments. In addition, even one unresolved incident of feeling personally attacked can cause lasting upset even if it does not fit the technical definition of bullying.īullying takes many different forms including physical threats or violence name-calling and teasing mocking shunning and ostracism and social attacks on someone’s reputation. However, someone can have less power than others for many reasons – being shy, being different in any way, lacking confidence, having problems at home, having a disability, being of a minority race or religion, being a high achiever, or lacking physical strength. The technical definition of bullying is, “a repeated oppression, psychological or physical, of a less powerful person by a more powerful person or group of persons.” Bullying is different from aggression between people of equal power.
