What is bullying?
According to Psychology Today, bullying is the distinctive pattern of
deliberately harming and humiliating others, specifically those who are in
some way more vulnerable than the bully, themself.
Many kids today experience a slightly different approach than the traditional
schoolyard bullying. Much of the hostility they face is targeted from online
sources, where it is common for peers to play bully, victim, and witness
simultaneously. Research has shown that, unlike its traditional counterpart,
cyberbullying is rarely premeditated. Rather, it is an act of impulse.
