What is Bullying?
Bullying is a well-known issue in the world that can be caused online, verbally or physicaly.
Verbal Bullying is the use of words to threaten, insult, embarrass, put down, swear, mock or intimidate the victim alone or in front of others. Verbal bullying is said to be the most common form of bullying in Australia.
Online Bullying
Online bullying can be on any social media websites such as facebook, instagram, twitter, snapchat etc. If anyone ever says something rude to you and bully's you online you have to make sure you tell a parent, teacher or even police.
Physical Bullying
Physical bullying can happen anywhere when your face face with the bully. Middle school is the age when bullying is most common, with almost all middle school students being affected directly or indirectly by bullying. The bully can kick, punch, smack, slam dunk, push or even trip.
Verbal Bullying
Verbal remarks, jokes, sarcasm, teasing and discriminatory name calling could be considered as funny and part of the social dynamic for bullies, but in reality, such remarks can make people feel shy, self-conscious, hopeless and lead to insecurity.
