Recognizing Bullying
Bullying can take on many forms. It's important to understand what bullying is, and what it is not.
Warning Signs of Bullying
Students who are bullied often exhibit some warning signs. Also, it's important to recognize the characteristics of students who bully, which may help prevent bullying and allow for early intervention.
The Impact of Bullying
A single student who bullies can have a wide-range impact on the students they bully, students who observe bullying, and the overall climate of the school and community.
Bullying and Sexual Orientation
Verbal bullying is the most frequent form of bullying, and can involve negative language that is sexual in nature. Sometimes, this sexual language refers to another person's actual or perceived sexual orientation.
What is Cyber Bullying?
Cyber bullying is bullying through electronic media -- e-mail, texting, social networks, blogs, websites, or digital messages or images send to a cellular phone.
