Awareness of Bullying.
Bullying is a form of abuse. It comprises repeated acts over time
that involves a real or perceived imbalance of power with the more
powerful individual or group abusing to those who are less powerful. The
power imbalance may be by social power and/or physical power. The
victim of bullying is sometimes referred to as a target.
Bullying consists of three basic types of abuse – emotional, verbal
and physical. Bullying can be defined in many different ways.
Bullying in schools and in workplaces is referred to as peer
pressure. Bullying is even considered a common push factor in
migration.
The definition of bullying is an act of repeated aggressive behavior in
order to intentionally hurt another person, physically or mentally.
Bullying is characterized by an individual behaving in a certain way to
gain power over another person.
Bullying behaviour may include name-calling, verbal or written
abuse, exclusion from activities, exclusion from social situations and
physical abuse.
Bullies may behave this way to be perceived as popular or tough or
to get attention. They may bully out of jealousy or be acting out
because they themselves are bullied.
The effects of bullying can be serious and even fatal, which some
cases might lead to suicide.

2. As mentioned, there are many different types of bullying.
Cyber Bullying involves the use of information and communication
technologies such as e-mail, handphones and text messages, instant
messaging, personal websites, blogs, online games and online
personal polling websites, to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile
behavior by an individual or group, that is intended to harm others.
Bullies will even create blogs to intimidate victims worldwide.
School Bullying involves one student or a group that bully another
student or a group of students. Bystanders may participate or watch,
sometimes out of fear of becoming the next victim. However, research
shows that ‘normal’school children have a sense of enjoyment from
watching the scene of bullying if it does not include them.
