It's NOT okay!
Emotional and Physical Effects.
Bullying isn't just about the physical image that we think of. Bulling can be emotional and frightning. Some people can overcome bullying, but others... not so much. Some people can put a stop to bullying, others choose to turn a blind eye.

- Covert Bullying - Playing jokes, lying, rumours.
- Cyber Bullying - Bullying over the internet.
