The Many Masks of Bullying.

Verbal bullying includes teasing, expressing hurtful words, and threatening the safety of others. Throughout society, people have used words to start wars, destroy lives and to verbally wound others. Students in schools experience this every day with name-calling and just pure Gossip. Back before cell phones and Internet capabilities existed Verbal, and Physical bullying ( Physical attacks to one's person which cause bodily harm) were the only ways bullying could manifest its self. Kids could escape their troubles while at home with their families, they cold close their doors and escape. Now, in the 21st Century with access to the internet and socials media its impossible to avoid. With social media being at our fingertips and the use of smartphones always in our pockets escaping people can never happen.
