What is Bullying? Bullying is a widespread and serious problem that can happen anywhere. It is not a phase children have to go through, it is not “Just messing around”, and it is not something to grow out of. Bullying can cause serious and lasting harm. Bullying takes many forms including: • Physical violence and attacks • Verbal taunts, name-calling and put downs • Threats and intimidation • Extortion or stealing or money and possessions • Exclusion from the peer group • Cyber bullying occurs when people use the Internet, mobile phones or other digital technologies to harm others

Types of Bullies The Brute Brutes may threaten, hit, kick, trip or push others. Some brutes demand that people give them money and threaten violence if someone says no. Brutes may also take, hide or destroy other person’s belongs.
Types of Bullies The “Friend” The “Friend” can act nice one minute and mean the next. He/She may tease people, say bad things about them or boss them around. These bullies often make people feel like they deserve to be mistreated, calling them “touchy” if they complain about the bullying. They may also gossip or spread rumors, make up stories to get people into trouble, or pressure people into doing things they do not want to do.
Types of Bullies The Crowd The Crowd is a group of bullies, like a street gang or a social clique. A clique is a group of friends who share the same interest. The Crowd might tell people to ignore someone, spread false stories about a person to make him look bad, or to ask someone to do something wrong.

MYTH: • If I tell someone it will just make it worse FACT: • Research shows that bullying will stop when adults in authority and peers get involved

MYTH: • People are born bullies FACT: • Bullying is a learned behavior and behaviors can be changed.
