ANTI-BULLYING PROGRAM

What is Bullying?


A person is being bullied when there is an imbalance of power, an intent to harm, a threat of further aggression and a feeling of terror.
~Barbara Coloroso "The Bully, The Bullied and The Bystander", 2002.

Bullying is a conscious and wilful act of aggression and/or manipulation by one or more people against another person or people. Bullying can last for a short period or go on for years, and is an abuse of power by those who carry it out. It is sometimes premeditated, and sometimes opportunistic, sometimes directed mainly towards one victim, and sometimes occurs serially and randomly.
~Keith Sullivan, "The Anti-Bullying Handbook," 2001.
