Chapter 1 – What is Bullying?

Bullying is repeated abuse by a person or a group through aggressive behavior physically, verbally or socially and intentionally hurting, harming and causing fear in a weaker person or a group through such behavior.

It is unwanted and aggressive behavior observed among children due to a real or a perceived power imbalance between the bully/ies and the victim/s. If it continues over a period of time and is not addressed then it may have serious effects on both bullies and the ones who are bullied.

Types of Bullying

Bullying happens in various situations and can be of various forms and types that affect the well being of an individual. It affects both physical and psychological balance of the victim. Based on the nature of bullying they can be classified into different types as below –

Verbal Bullying

This is a common type of bullying that is seen in different strata of life. Verbal bullying is where one is abused through ways of calling offensive name, teasing and remarks depending on the color, sex or race. Perpetrators who take up such methods use harsh and rude words as their weapon of attack. The main objective is to put down and demean the character of the victim. This might come as a very easy and simple way of bullying but the consequences are grave just like any other form of bullying discussed in this chapter.
