anything that could hurt or embarrass themselves or others

Bullying is a serious issue affecting many individuals, especially in school settings. It can lead to devastating consequences such as drops in grades, convictions, and even suicides. The different types of bullying include physical aggression, social alienation, verbal aggression, intimidation, cyberbullying, and sexual harassment. Understanding the characteristics and impact of each type can help in identifying and addressing bullying behavior. Cyberbullying, in particular, poses unique challenges due to its anonymous nature and wide-reaching impact. Parents and educators play a crucial role in preventing bullying by being aware of online activities, monitoring children's online behavior, and teaching responsible online conduct.
