Bullying Behavior
 Unfair and one-sided. It happens
when someone keeps hurting,
frightening, threatening, or
leaving someone out on purpose.
 unfair means there is an imbalance of power (social,
physical…). One-sided means that only one person is
being mean – not an argument or fight. It keeps on
happening. Bullying is not a one-time occurrence. It’s an
established pattern of behavior.
