Bullying can take many forms including verbal, physical, social, or psychological aggression. It is often directed at those perceived as less powerful and is meant to cause harm, distress, or fear. Bullying can occur at school through name-calling, threats, assaults, or online through messages, pictures, or social media. Being bullied can negatively impact children's school experience and performance. Teachers, parents, and students are encouraged to work together to promote inclusion, confidence, and take a stand against bullying.
