Bullying is when someone who is usually stronger causes harm to someone weaker than them. There are four types of bullying:
- Verbal: name-calling, teasing
- Social: spreading rumors, leaving people out on purpose, breaking up friendships
- Physical: hitting, punching, shoving
- Cyber-bullying: using the Internet, mobile phones or other digital technologies to harm others
People who are bullied have a higher risk of depression and anxiety. They also have more suicidal thoughts. An academic effect is lower test grades. The bullied kids are more likely to skip school to escape the effects of bullying.
