What is bullying?

Bullying is when someone does or says something to hurt someone else. It is always on purpose. Individuals can bully others, but so can groups. Either way, bullying is about making someone feel small and powerless. No one asks to be bullied, and no one deserves it.

• Bullying can be stopped
