A bully uses teasing, threats, or strength to pick on, frighten, or hurt someone or take what they want.
- Bullying is a form of aggressive and harassing behavior. This antisocial behavior occurs across geographic, racial, and socioeconomic segments of society.
- Bullying prevents its victims from enjoying a safe, stress-free living, learning, and working environment.
- Children who bully are at risk for juvenile and adult criminal behavior. Early intervention in the home, school and the community are the best hope we have of diverting people from this destructive pattern.
