Bullying can happen in many different circumstances and can take on many different formats. However, experts usually divide bullying into four major sub-groups; verbal, physical, social and cyber bullying. Any one of these subgroups can occur on their own but bullies can also combine multiple types of bullying together. If you think that you may be experiencing one of these types of bullying then you should talk to someone that you trust.

Verbal Bullying. Verbal bullying is a type of bullying where the perpetrator relies mainly on words to try to hurt their victim. In previous times, children may have been taught the mantra "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me", however this mantra is now considered to be counterproductive. Verbal bullying can have a serious effect on the mental health of victims, and may actually have more of a lasting effect than physical bullying. Verbal bullying serves to lower self-esteem and undermine the confidence of the victim.

Types of verbal bullying include; name-calling, routine criticism, teasing, hurtful, comments and verbal threats. Verbal bullying does not always have to be spoken out loud; it can also take the form of hurtful notes and similar things that are passed to the victim.

Physical Bullying. Physical bullying is the name given to any act where the perpetrator uses their physicality to try to hurt or irritate the victim. Physical acts can range from seemingly minor actions, such as flicking items at someone repeatedly, up to actions which put the victim's life at risk. It is worth noting that minor physical actions can still have a severe effect on the mental health of the person who is being targeted.

Other types of physical bullying include; hitting, pushing, tripping and throwing objects at the victim. In addition to physical threats and actions against the victim, the perpetrators of the bullying may also seek to use their physicality to damage personal items that belong to the victim. For example, they might steal the victim's school bag or rip up a book which belongs to their target.

Social Bullying. Social bullying is a type of bullying where the perpetrators try to isolate their victim from wider social networks. To do this, they damage that person's relationships or reputation. By ostracising a person from a specific group, the perpetrator is reducing the opportunity for their victim to seek support. In some cases, the bully may appear to be friendly when they are communicating directly with their victim, but they could be manipulating other people to act against that person.

Social bullying can include; ostracizing a person from an existing social group, spreading rumours about a person, sharing secrets that were told in confidence, giving a person "the silent treatment", and deliberately embarrassing someone in public.

Cyber Bullying. Cyber bullying is a relatively new form of bullying which is carried out using modern forms of communication, such as the internet or mobile phones. These types of technology make it much harder for victims to get away from their tormentors. Victims may feel like they cannot stop using social media or their mobile phone, because these things are now considered to be very important forms of communication. Cyber bullying also allows greater anonymity for the perpetrators. It is possible for cyber bullies to target people who are thousands of miles away and who they may never have met in real life.

Examples of cyber bullying include; prank phone calls and texts, abusive messages on social media, fake social media accounts being made about the victim, catfishing, hacking and computer virus attacks.

Strategies for Dealing With Bullying.  Read and Learn!!!!!!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Although how you deal with your bully will depend greatly on your age, personality and general situation, there are some common techniques that are proven effective in dealing with bullies.

Dealing with a bully? Here are some expert approved strategies for getting a handle on your bully problem:
1. Get Adults, Peers and/or Authority Figures Involved
If you're a grade school kid, then there is no reason for you to try to deal with your bully problem on your own. Tell a trusted adult, such as one of your parents, a teacher or a school counselor about what's going on and let them help to put a stop to the situation. Make sure you get them to understand how upset the bullying makes you feel and that it's an ongoing occurrence.

Most schools have anti-bullying policies and strict sanctions for those that engage in bullying, but these policies can only work when school officials are made aware of a problem that's too often obscured within the dark reaches of the playground. If you're a teen or adult, you may also want to let someone in authority know of the problem, especially if the bullying becomes or threatens to become violent. While it can be difficult, for authorities to put a stop to verbal bullying, violence is another matter, more black and white, and therefore more easily dealt with. Research shows that in most cases, bullying stops or reduces greatly when authority figures or peers get involved in the situation.
2. Don't React
Don't give a bully any satisfaction. Bullies behave cruelly in the hopes of getting a reaction, so when you react with anger or aggression - fear or tears - you are simply giving the bully what he or she wants and increasing the likelihood of future incidents. Walk away from the bully, and try to keep you emotions in; even if you're raging inside. It's boring to pick on someone who gives you nothing to work with in return, so by minimizing your reaction you hopefully take all of the fun out of it for the bully and reduce the odds that he or she will repeat the bullying.
3. Act Confidently
Bullies like to pick on easy targets and they're great at reading body language and looking for weakness, so by looking more confident and assertive, you may be able to deter some bullying. Some ways you can look strong and confidant on the outside (even if you don't feel like that on the inside) are by holding your head up high, walking straight and tall, looking people in the eye and responding to people with a loud and clear voice.
4. Don't Get Violent
Although we are told that bullies are cowards and that by confronting them with violence they'll simply back down, the truth is that reacting to bullying with violence in return may not end your problems, and if you're unlucky, it may even make the bullying worse.When you react to bullying with violence you're sending a clear message to the bully about just how upset you are by the bullying - and that's exactly what the bully wants! By getting violent, you're increasing the likelihood of further bullying. Additionally, once you get violent there's no way to know how things are going to turn out. You may end up getting hurt, you may hurt someone else more than you meant to and you may end up getting in a lot of trouble.
5. Try to Avoid the Bully
There's no sense in walking straight towards trouble if you can help it, so if you can avoid or minimize interactions with someone who's giving you trouble, so much the better. If someone picks on you on your walk home from school, then try a different route. Also, try to always have a friend or two around you when you know you'll have to come in contact with your bully.
6. Have Verbal Comebacks Prepared
If you feel up to it, try preparing and practicing some verbal comebacks to your bully's taunts and teases in advance. Coming back with a quick retort to something your bully says lessens the power of her words and makes you seem like less of an easy target for next time.
7. Keep Your Self Esteem Up
There's no denying that being bullied can really bring you down- after all, that's how bullies want you to feel, so to counteract this negativity, you need to increase the positive in your life by taking part in things that make you feel great. Get involved in sports, the arts, music or whatever else you enjoy and do well and make friends with like-minded people who respect and admire you for who you are and what you do well.
8. Get Help When You Need It
In some situations, there's just nothing you can do. When bullying gets violent or threatens to get violent, do whatever you have to do to get yourself out of the situation as quickly as possible. Do not listen to your bully's commands, just run away to a safe place and try to get help.
9. In Extreme Situations - Change Your Situation
If nothing's working and you can't make the bullying stop, then you may want to think hard about changing your situation to get away from the bully. If you're bullied in school and the administration is powerless to stop the attacks and the bullying is making it difficult for you to feel safe and happy while learning, then it might be time to consider whether moving to another school might be the best idea.

Lyrics and Musical Video to "Invisible", Hunter Hayes.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Crowded hallways are the loneliest places Or anyone who just dares to be different To find out where your place is There's no room for anyone who dares to do something different
For outcasts and rebels
And you've been trying for so long
But in their narrow minds
Oh, but listen for a minute

Trust the one Was sticks and stones And you're not invisible There's so much more to life than what you're feeling now And all this pain is gonna be invisible
Who's been where you are wishing all it was
Those words cut deep but they don't mean you're all alone
Hear me out,
Someday you'll look back on all these days
Oh, invisible

So your confidence is quiet But you don't have to fight it Every heart has a rhythm That everyone can hear it Oh, and never be afraid of doing something different
To them quiet looks like weakness
'Cause you're strong enough to win without a war
Let yours beat out so loudly
Yeah, I promise you don't need to hide it anymore
Dare to be something more

Trust the one Was sticks and stones And you're not invisible There's so much more of this life than what you're feeling now And someday you'll look back on all these days
Who's been where you are wishing all it was
Yeah, the words cut deep but they don't mean you're all alone
Hear me out,

And all this pain is gonna be invisible

These labels that they give you If you look past this moment Waving a flag for who you are Yeah, so here's to you
just 'cause they don't understand
You'll see you've got a friend
And all you're gonna do
And here's to anyone who's ever felt invisible

Yeah, and you're not invisible There's so much more to life than what you're feeling now And all this pain is gonna be invisible
Hear me out,
And someday you'll look back on all these days
It'll be invisible
