There are different ways to bully someone. Each way can affect the victim. Physical bullying includes you using your body. Examples of physical bullying are kicking, pinching, and hitting. It can also include damaging and stealing items. Verbal bullying includes saying something about someone behind their back. It could be name-calling, teasing, threats, spreading rumors, and blackmail. This can make people scared, upset, and wonder why they are not treated as they should be. Just calling people names can break up friendships. Words can hurt, and sometimes do more harm to a person than physical bullying. Exclusion bullying includes leaving someone out, ignoring them, or making them feel unwelcome. It is mostly when people do not allow someone else to play with them. How would you feel if someone would never let you play with him or her at recess? You would feel pretty upset probably. You may not think of that as bullying. Damaging or taking someone elses' property is another form of bullying. It shows little respect for a person if you are fooling around with their things. All these
bullying types can hurt anyone and should be prevented. People bully
for different reasons.
