3. What Is Bullying?
Bullying typically refers to deliberate actions or
repeated behaviour that can be verbal, physical,
psychological, or social, which cause a serious
extent of intimidation or offence to someone else.
o Such actions undermine, humiliate, and cause both
physical and emotional harm to the subjects.
o Young students especially tend to be extremely
vulnerable to bullying, mainly because many of them
are not entirely aware of the concept – that is,
victims do not realise that they are being bullied, and
bullies do not realise that they are causing harm.
