This afternoon we talked about defining what bullying is.

The Identifying Features of Bullying

• It is deliberate, hurtful behaviour
• It is repeated over a period of time
• It is often difficult for those being bullied to defend themselves
• It is difficult for those who bully to learn new social behaviours
• Those who bully have, and exercise power inappropriately over others
• Cyberbullying can be spread quickly to a wide audience
