Bullying is any form of discrimination or behaviour intended to hurt or harm the reputation of another. It can happen face to face or online. Any type of bullying is unacceptable.
The reasons for bullying behaviour can be complex. It can harm people physically or emotionally. Victims feel hurt, threatened, frightened and left out.
Even though the actual behaviour might not be repeated, the threat that it might can be sustained over time, typically by actions: looks, messages, confrontations, physical interventions, or the fear of these.
