Bullying

Bullying refers to aggressive behavior that involves the intentional and repeated harm of an individual, typically characterized by an imbalance of power. It can occur in various forms, including physical, verbal, social, or cyberbullying. Physical bullying involves physical acts such as hitting or pushing, while verbal bullying includes name-calling, threats, or derogatory remarks. Social bullying aims to undermine an individual’s social relationships and can involve exclusion or spreading rumors. Cyberbullying occurs through digital platforms, such as social media, where harmful content is shared online.
