Bullies & Victims of Bullying

     Print    Subscribe


Bullying refers to repeated aggressive behaviors (physical, verbal or psychological) meant to hurt another person. Bullying is signified by an imbalance of power, often the result of differences in physical size and/or cognitive abilities. Creating an environment where all students feel safe is extremely important to learning. It is imperative that schools ensure that students never feel they are being bullied by other students.
