Bullying, a definition
The word “bully” can be traced back as far as the 1530s. (Harper, 2008). In its most basic sense
bullying involves two people, a bully or intimidator and a victim. The bully abuses the victim through physical, verbal, or other means in order to gain a sense of superiority and power. These actions may be direct (i.e. hitting,
verbally assaulting face-to-face, etc.) or indirect (i.e. rumors, gossip, etc.)
