Bullying is the repeated, intentional use of words or actions against a person or a group with the intent to hurt them physically, socially, or psychologically. Typically, they aim to weaken or dehumanize the target.

Bullying can occur anywhere, including at work, at home, online, via text message, or by email or text message. Bullying can take many different forms, but it always leaves the victim feeling distressed and hurt.

Bullying kids sometimes like to get their own way. Others might enjoy hostility and strife.

Some people might be careless rather than maliciously harmful. Some people might struggle with their health, academics, or self-esteem.

Some people may be physically or mentally abused, bullied, or neglected. Bullies are more likely to struggle with persistent problems like melancholy or issues with aggression.

This caught the OP completely off guard, and he couldn't respond with anything other than a confused "what" response. The OP denied ever doing such, but the man still insisted it was the OP.

Children can play a variety of parts depending on the situation. People who are bullied in one circumstance might abuse others in another.

Anyone can be bullied, regardless of age, and very few young people report bullying to anyone. It will worsen their feelings of helplessness, humiliation, or fear.

So let's join hands together and say no to bullying.
