What is Bullying?

In our school, a bully is someone who hurts someone several times, by using behaviour which is meant to hurt, frighten or upset another person.

Bullying can be…

Emotional: Hurting people’s feelings, leaving you out, writing messages.

Physical: Punching, kicking, spitting hitting, pushing, theft.

Verbal: Being teased, name-calling, gossiping, and spreading untruths, constantly being rude.

Racist: Calling you racist names.

Cyber: Unkind things by text, e-mail and social networking.

REMEMBER: -

• TELL AN ADULT.
• SAVE IT.
• PRINT OUT THE MESSAGE.
