What is Bullying?
Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged
children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior
is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Both kids who
are bullied and who bully others may have serious, lasting problems.

This definition includes three important components:

1. Bullying is aggressive behavior that involves unwanted, negative
actions.
2. Bullying involves a pattern of behavior repeated over time
3. Bullying involves an imbalance of power or strength.
What is Bullying?
The Norwegian researcher Dan Olweus says
bullying occurs when a person is "exposed,
repeatedly and over time, to negative actions on
the part of one or more other persons". He says
negative actions occur "when a person
intentionally inflicts injury or discomfort upon
another person, through physical contact,
through words or in other ways." Individual
bullying is usually characterized by a person
behaving in a certain way to gain power over
another person.
In order to be considered bullying, the
behavior must be aggressive and
include:
 An Imbalance of Power:
Kids who bully use their power—such as physical strength,
access to embarrassing information, or popularity—to control or
harm others. Power imbalances can change over time and in
different situations, even if they involve the same people.
 Repetition:
Bullying behaviors happen more than once or have the
potential to happen more than once.
 What Causes
Students to Bully:
Information about bullying suggests that there are three
interrelated reasons why students bully.
1. Students who bully have strong needs for power and (negative)
dominance.
2. Students who bully find satisfaction in causing injury and
suffering to other students.
3. Students who bully are often rewarded in some way for their
behavior with material psychological rewards.
