  3. What is Bullying? Bullying refers to actions repeated over time which harm, harass, intimidate, or humiliate another person. Typically there is an imbalance of power. (NOTE: The new law says that bullying can be a single incident.) • Bullying may be physical, verbal, relational, or electronic. • Bullying may be direct or indirect (hitting, texting or spreading rumors). • Bullying can take place on or off school grounds.

  4. What is Bullying? (continued) Bullying differs from rough and tumble play or friendly teasing. The phrase “harassment, intimidation, and bullying” (HIB) is often used in place of the term “bullying”. • “Bias-based Bullying” is commonly used to describe bullying in which legally protected characteristics (such as gender, identify, sexual orientation, disability, etc) are targeted.
