Bullying involves a person, often physically stronger, picking on and physically harming someone weaker to boost their own self-esteem. If someone is being bullied, they should tell others for help. In the book Twisted, the character Chip bullies others to assert his perceived dominance in school. Bullying most often occurs outside of school where it is easier to avoid consequences, and it also frequently happens online where bullies can remain anonymous. Being bullied can negatively impact one's self-esteem, but witnesses should help those being bullied as it is an unfair and harmful act.
