A GUIDE TO
DEALING
WITH
BULLYING
What It Is
Bullying behavior is usually a combination of: physical (hitting, kicking, and pushing,) verbal (threatening,
taunting, and hate speech,) cyber (email) bullying, and social exclusion. Boys typically use physical means of
bullying and girls rely on social exclusion and research suggests it is common to see bullying behaviors as early
as age three.
