Bullying
The definition of being bullied can be different to everyone; however any way that you or we describe it…it isn’t right! Some ways in which bullying can be described:
- Name calling
- Being Teased
- Physical actions – being pushed or pulled about
- Spreading rumours about you
- Abusive messages either through text or instant messaging (eg; MSN)
