Bullying

What are the different ways people can be bullied?

How can this affect the people involved?

What is bullying?Bullying is unwanted behaviour which hurts someone else, either physical or emotionally. The behaviour is repeated or has the potential to be repeated. Repeated teasing can be a form of bullying too. This can be upsetting for the person that is being teased.

Bullying can make people feel sad, hurt and other emotions.

Have a think about a time when you may have felt one of these emotions what did you do about it?

It’s important to remember that we are all different. Being different to someone else makes you special and we are all different in many ways.

Whether it is name calling, teasing or hurting someone physically, bullying is not acceptable in any form.

Bullying is an action that is repeated and happens several times. If someone calls you a name, this is not very nice but if they KEEP calling you names everyday, or everytime they see you... this is bullying. Although someone calling you a name once is not nice, this is not bullying.

Remember if someone is being unkind to you it is always best to let an adult know.
