 | What Is Bullying?
Bullying is repeated behavior, by an individual or a group. Bullying is characterized by an imbalance of power, and the physical or emotional intimidation of bully targets. The intent of the bully is to harm a person or group by denying their rights to property, opportunity, or physical safety.
Not all bullies are boys, and not all bullying is violent. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Where Does Bullying Occur?
Bullying occurs where youth come together in an unsupervised, or poorly supervised setting.
Bullying can occur on the way to school, or on the way home from school. Bullying occurs on school playgrounds, in student restroooms, in student eating areas, and in class when teachers aren’t looking. Bullying can occur at your home, and in internet chat rooms.

What Causes Bullying to Occur?
Bullying occurs when a youth who practices bullying behaviors has the opportunity, (being unsupervised) and decides to take something which doesn’t belong to him/her, or to assert an inappropriate dominance over others.
Bullying isn't about disagreement, it's about opportunity and abuse of power.
When youth are permitted to make their own rules, (in the absence of supervision by, or accountability to adults) a bully or bullying group may emerge to dominate, as in The Lord Of The Flies.
