Have you ever been repeatedly laughed at by someone or a group of kids, or a gang in your class in a way that makes you sad? What about repeated threats and even physical abuse by someone for some reason? Probably. It is estimated that about 20% of all kids are bullied in school at any time, and about half have experienced bullying at some point before.<\/p><h4><b>What is that about?<\/b><\/h4><p class=\"p1\">Bullying is when someone keeps doing or saying things to have power over you. This includes this like:<\/p><ul class=\"ul1\"><li class=\"li1\">Calling you stupid names<\/li><li class=\"li1\">Saying or writing nasty things about you<\/li><li class=\"li1\">Leaving you out of activities, not talking to you, or threatening you<\/li><li class=\"li1\">Making you feel uncomfortable or scared<\/li><li class=\"li1\">Taking or damaging your things, hitting or kicking you<\/li><li class=\"li1\">Making you do things you don&#8217;t want to do.<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"p1\">No doubt, this can make you feel unhappy, afraid, uncomfortable, depressed, hurt, and alone. It can negatively affect your performance in class.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Research shows that bullying has three main ingredients:<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><i><b>Aggressive behavior:<\/b><\/i><\/p><p class=\"p1\">Physical or verbal attack intended to cause bodily harm or cause shame<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><b><i>Imbalance of Power:<\/i><\/b><\/p><p class=\"p1\">The person bullying is stronger, more popular, and able to overpower the victim in many ways<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><i><b>Repetition:<\/b><\/i><\/p><p class=\"p1\">The behavior re-occurs often, leaving the victim scared of another attack soon again.<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_9721\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9721\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9721\" src=\"https:\/\/eschooltoday.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/how-do-bullies-look-like.jpg\" alt=\"What does bullying mean for young people?\" width=\"600\" height=\"347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eschooltoday.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/how-do-bullies-look-like.jpg 600w, https:\/\/eschooltoday.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/how-do-bullies-look-like-300x174.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9721\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">What does bullying mean for young people?<\/figcaption><\/figure><p class=\"p1\">Bullying could come in any of these four ways:<\/p><ol class=\"ol1\"><li class=\"li1\"><b>Physical<\/b>: This includes threatening, or doing the action of hitting, kicking, pushing, and any other physical harm.
