2. BULLYING
• Bullying is unwanted,
aggressive behavior among
school aged children that
involves a real or perceived
power imbalance. The
behavior is repeated, or has
the potential to be repeated,
over time. Both kids who are
bullied and who bully others
may have serious, lasting
problems.

3. TYPES OF BULLYING
• Physical Bullying
• Includes hitting, kicking, shoving, spitting, beating up, stealing or damaging property.
• While physical bullying causes harm to a child’s body or property, the below forms of bullying cause psychological harm. Such
offensive, degrading and rejecting behaviours undermine and destabilize victimized children’s sense of themselves, of their place in
the school, and of their place in the world.
• Verbal Bullying
• Includes name-calling, mocking, hurtful teasing, insults, slurs, humiliating or threatening someone, racist comments, or sexual
harassment.
• Social Bullying
• Includes rolling your eyes or turning away from someone, excluding others from the group, getting others to ignore or exclude,
gossiping or spreading rumours, setting others up to look foolish, and damaging reputations and friendships.

4. • Electronic or Cyberbullying
• Includes the use of email, cell phones, text messages, and internet sites to threaten, harass, embarrass, socially
exclude, or damage reputations and friendships.
• Racial Bullying
• Includes treating people badly because of their racial or ethnic background, saying bad things about a cultural
background, calling someone racist names or telling racist jokes.
• Religious Bullying
• Includes treating people badly because of their religious background or beliefs, making negative comments about a
religious background or belief, calling someone names or telling jokes based on his of her religious beliefs in an effort
to hurt them.
• Disability Bullying
• Includes leaving someone out or treating them badly because of a disability, making someone feel uncomfortable, or
making jokes to hurt someone because of a disability.

5. WAYS TO STOP BULLYING
• 1.Walk away. If the situation seems threatening or dangerous, it's best to get away from the bully. Even if it is not a
dangerous situation, remember that you don’t have to listen to someone saying mean things to you. The best thing
to do might be to calmly walk away from the person. This will send the message that you won’t put up with this
kind of treatment.
• 2. Tell someone so the bully will stop. It's important to report bullying right away so that someone in authority can
put a stop to it. By telling someone that you are being bullied, you will be standing up for yourself and showing the
bullies that you will not put up with their abuse.
• 3Ask the bully to stop if you feel safe doing so. If you don’t feel physically threatened, using direct, assertive
communication and body language is a good way to address a bully. If a bully continues to harass you even after
you have walked away, calmly let them know that you will not put up with the behavior. Turn and face the bully and
tell them to stop.
• 4.Stay calm. It is the bully’s goal to get an emotional response out of you, so do your best to keep calm and avoid
showing them how you feel. Try your best not to show that you are angry, sad, or frightened. The bully may feed
off of these emotions and increase their efforts.

6. HELPING SOMEONE WHO IS BEING BULLIED
• 1. Take immediate action. Do not wait to deal with bullying. If you see or hear about someone being
bullied, then step in to stop the bullying right away. If you cannot intervene yourself, then find
someone who can. If you’re an adult intervening in a bullying situation, you may also want to get help
from a second adult.
• 2.Separate the bully and the person being bullied if you can. It is important to keep the bully away
from the person they are bullying. If you’re helping a peer who is being bullied, go with them to a safe
space away from the bully. If you’re an adult trying to stop a bullying situation, do not force the two
parties to be in the same room together or to shake hands and make up. Put them in separate rooms
and talk with each one individually.
• 3Take bullying seriously. Bullying is a serious problem that can escalate and cause serious damage if it
is not stopped. Take any bullying that you see or hear about very seriously, and don’t hesitate to tell
someone who can help. You might even need to contact the police or call emergency services in some
situations. You may need to involve the police or seek medical attention for the person .
