Different Types of Bullying
- Physical bullying includes any physical contact that would hurt or injure a person like hitting, kicking, punching, etc. Taking something that belongs to someone else and destroying it would also be considered a type of physical bullying.
- Verbal bullying is name-calling, making offensive remarks, or joking about a person's religion, gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or the way they look. For example, if there was a group of kids who made fun of another kid because he couldn't run as fast as everyone else, it would be an example of verbal bullying.
- Indirect bullying includes spreading rumours or stories about someone, telling others about something that was told to you in private, and excluding others from groups. An example would be if you started a rumour that a boy in your class likes playing with dolls, and if the reason that you made up the story
