What are the different forms of bullying?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Bullying is the intentional infliction of injury or discomfort (or the attempt to do so) on another person repeatedly over time when there is a power imbalance between the perpetrator and the victim. Bullying can be both direct and indirect. Direct bullying involves both physical and verbal actions in the presence of the victim. Physical bullying can include hitting, punching, shoving, pulling the chair out from under another person, tripping, and other physical actions. Verbal bullying includes direct name calling and threatening. Indirect bullying can be subtler and harder to detect. It is often referred to as social bullying and includes actions such as isolating individuals, making obscene gestures, excluding from activities, and manipulation. Even though it is often said that “kids will be kids” and bullying is simply a natural part of children’s interactions, research suggests that it can have pernicious effects and that ignoring bullying in schools may be dangerous.
