What is Bullying? 1) It is anaggressive act that is usually repeated 2) The bully has more perceived power (strength, status, size) than the victim who cannot hold his own 3) The hurtful behaviour is not an accident, but intentional. The bully usually seems to enjoy seeing the victim in distress 4) The bully rarely accepts responsibility and often says the victim “deserved” the hurtful treatment.
