Understanding Types of Bullying

Bullying in schools can take many forms, each with its own impact on victims. Understanding these types is the first step to addressing the issue.

This involves physical actions like hitting, pushing, or stealing belongings. It’s often the most visible form of bullying.

Verbal bullying includes name-calling, teasing, or spreading rumors. It can be deeply harmful to a student’s self-esteem.

Also called relational bullying, this involves excluding someone, spreading gossip, or damaging relationships.

Cyberbullying occurs online through social media, texts, or emails. It can be anonymous and spread quickly, making it particularly challenging.

Recognizing these types helps educators and parents intervene effectively. For more resources, visit our Contact page.
