Bullying comes in different varieties such as:
Verbal bullying is when someone is called names, threatened and made to feel bad.
Physical bullying is when someone is hit, punched, pushed or have their personal items stolen and any other kind of physical aggressive contact.
When someone has some physical signs of bullying like cuts, bruises, torn clothes or personal belongings missing they just put it down to over active play or childish games. Many times this isn’t the cause and people who are bullied will not tell an adult or someone they trust as they believe it will make the bullies mad and make the bulling a lot worse.
Social bullying is when someone is left out of games, deliberately ignored and has bad things spread about them and made to feel like an outsider.
