Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4
Children and youth may use aggression to protect their social position and to meet their social needs. School violence has been studied in terms of direct physical bullying, relational or social bullying, and sexual harassment. Physical bullying can take the form of hitting, kicking, and taking the possessions of another. Relational or social bullying targets social relationships to hurt another person; this can include spreading rumors and threatening social ostracism. Ostracism is the psychological weapon that the school abuser uses to alienate a victim from friends. School violence is youth violence that happens on school property and on the way to or from or during school and school-sponsored events. School violence is a subset of youth violence and typically includes those between the ages of 10 and 24 years, although it can begin much earlier.
