Bullying is unwanted, repeated acts or gestures by a person or group. The goal of bullying is to scare, ridicule, embarrass, or hurt the targeted person.

There are three main types of bullying: physical, verbal, and social.

1. Physical bullying is when someone uses their body or an object to hurt or scare another person.

2. Verbal bullying is when someone uses words to hurt or scare another person.

3. Social bullying is when someone tries to hurt another person's relationships or reputation.

4. Cyberbullying is verbal or social bullying through instant messaging, social gaming sites, email, texting, or social media.

What is Physical Bullying?

Physical bullying is a type of bullying where someone uses their body or an object to hurt or scare another person. A bully may also steal or damage the targeted person's property.

Examples of physical bullying include:

Aggressive Behavior and Bullying

Not all aggressive behaviors are bullying. Physical fights, dating violence, hazing, stalking, and criminal harassment are types of aggressive behavior that don't always fit the definition of bullying.

Sometimes, aggressive behavior is called bullying because the bully is a school-aged child. The same behavior would be considered a crime when the person is a young adult.

Knowing the difference between physical bullying and other types of aggressive behavior is important because they should be handled differently.

Other Forms of Aggressive Behavior

Physical Fighting

Sometimes physical fighting and bullying get mixed up. Bullying is a repeated act, so a single fight is not bullying. But it can be a sign of bullying.

Teen Dating Violence

Teen dating violence is physical, emotional, verbal, financial, or sexual abuse in a relationship between teenagers. If you or someone you know is experiencing relationship violence, these resources can help.

Hazing

Hazing is when a group requires new members to participate in embarrassing, dangerous, or illegal activities.

Stalking

Stalking is a crime, and laws about it vary from state to state. Stalking is repeatedly following someone, contacting someone, and/or damaging someone's belongings. The goal is to scare or threaten a targeted person.

Harassment

The term harassment is typically used when the behavior is a crime. The legal definition of harassment varies from state to state. The definition of harassment overlaps with the definition of bullying.

Harassment is repeated unwelcomed or threatening behavior, including physical assault, threats, offensive comments, or intimidation.

High school students can learn how to handle bullying and harassment in our anti-bullying education program: Bullying: Imbalance of Power.

The Effects of Physical Bullying

Physical bullying does not just lead to injuries. All forms of bullying affect the targeted person's emotional and mental health.

A target of bullying has a higher risk for depression and anxiety. They may experience the physical symptoms of stress, including sleep problems, headaches, and stomachaches.

Both bullies and students targeted by a bully have a higher risk for mental health disorders and behavioral problems. Mental health is essential to a student's learning and academic success. Creating an anti-bullying school environment helps all students succeed.

The saddest part is that bullying can have longterm damaging effects on its victims. Physical bullying can break someone’s arm or do something like that and somebody who was harmed by a bully might’ve never fully fixed their broken arm or whatever got hit

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
You've probably faced some form of physical bullying at one point or another in your school life - or known someone who has been a victim.

The saddest part is that bullying can have long-term damaging effects on its victims. It can affect them physically, socially, mentally, academically, and emotionally well into the future.

As much as you try to eliminate physical bullying from your school, it may feel like you're fighting a losing battle. We understand.

What you need is a winning game plan against this pervasive problem. And we're here to provide you with one.

But first, let's take a more in-depth look at what constitutes physical bullying.

What Types of Bullying Behavior Count as Physical Bullying?

Physical bullying is the use of physical actions to intimidate and gain control over a target. The physical actions are unwanted by the victim and can either cause damage to their body or possessions. This behavior is all too common in schools. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, 6.7% of students in the 2016-2017 school year were physically bullied.

Some common types of violence enacted through physical bullying include:

Hitting or kicking

Shoving or pushing

Tripping

Pinching

Damage of property

Physical bullying (and other types of bullying) differ from mean actions in the following ways:

Power imbalance - The target of bullying is usually defenseless due to a disparity in power with their attacker. It may be physical - the bully could be stronger or have 'bullying assistants'. Or it could be intellectual, such as children with learning differences.

Repetitive behavior - Physical bullying is ongoing and habitual, not a one-time act.

Intentional actions - The bully carries out violence with the intention of harming the other child.

What Effects Does Physical Bullying Have?

As with all types of bullying, physical bullying eventually takes its toll on both the victims and the bullies.

Effects of Bullying on the Target

Bullying leads to a decrease in academic performance. A study by CDC researchers showed that 12.9% of teenagers who missed school due to safety concerns feared bullying.

Victims of bullying may also avoid participating in class for fear of drawing attention to themselves and getting bullied. They may then become labeled as low achievers, putting them at an even higher risk of being targeted by bullies.

Like all forms of bullying, physical bullying can cause emotional distress. It makes the victims feel powerless and think less of themselves. This leads to feelings of shame, isolation, and despair.

The child may lose interest in playing or activities they previously enjoyed and engage in harmful behavior, such as self-harm and reclusive tendencies.

These actions lead to more negative feelings and thoughts, creating a self-destructive cycle. In victims with existing depression and anxiety, bullying can make these conditions worse.

Besides the physical injuries victims may sustain from the attacks, they may also develop health issues, such as somatization.

Somatization includes physical symptoms caused by psychological or emotional factors. For instance, the child may complain about headaches, body pain, or fatigue.

Effects of Bullying on the Bully

Those who bully others are also likely to face serious behavioral problems. They are at higher risk of later developing substance abuse issues and engaging in violent behavior, such as theft, and vandalism.

Compared to children and adolescents who have only been victims, bullies who have been victims themselves tend to face severe negative effects on their mental health. These effects carry over into adulthood and include suicide tendencies. The bully may also experience poor social skills and high levels of aggression.

You can recognize instances of physical bullying in your school by remaining on the lookout for these negative emotional, academic, and behavioral changes in your students.

4 Tactics of Physical Bullying Prevention in Your School

Here are some remedies that can reduce physical bullying in schools.

1. Define Physical Bullying

The first step is to increase awareness of the different forms physical bullying takes. Ensure that students, teachers, and other staff can recognize it, even in its subtlest forms.

When defining bullying, it's best to remove the labels.

Everyone has baggage. Even children. There is likely a reason the child bullying another is acting in that way.

Rather than labeling one student 'bully' and the other 'victim', it's best to focus on the negative behaviors and consequences.

This will make it easier to teach students to report bullying when they witness it without passing harsh judgment on the student carrying it out.

Bullies will understand the kind of harm their actions are causing the victim and the negative impacts they are drawing on themselves.

2. Build Positive Self-Concept Among Students

A study at the University of Western Sydney indicated a relationship between self-concept and bullying. The study showed that both bullies and targets are associated with a low self-concept.

The following findings were derived from the study:

Being either a bully or a target eventually leads to lower levels of self-concept.

A positive self-concept leads to lower chances of being a target of bullying or a bully.

From these results, it's safe to say that one long-term solution to reducing all types of bullying in schools is to promote a high self-concept among students.

The perception we have of ourselves is generally determined by the actions we take and less by our thoughts and feelings. While positive behavioral choices increase feelings of self-worth, negative choices result in a negative self-concept.

How can you develop a positive self-concept among students?

Our bullying curriculum is based on the philosophy of the Thoughts-Actions-Feelings Circle.

It emphasizes positive actions among students, which promotes positive thoughts and feelings. Positive thoughts and feelings lead to more positive actions, causing a positive thoughts-actions-feelings circle.

This positive cycle promotes a high self-concept and lower incidences of bullying. The curriculum covers students of all ages, from middle school to high school students.

3. Create a Sense of Community

Find opportunities to create a strong classroom community. This creates an environment where students feel connected to their peers and safe to be themselves.

This connection between peers can reduce incidents of school bullying while also promoting healing among victims. It can also motivate students to speak up when they witness bullying.

Engage in community-building afterschool activities that relate to their interests while also promoting social-emotional learning.

Social-emotional learning involves equipping students with interpersonal skills, self-awareness, and self-control.

It helps the students appreciate their identity and uniqueness and that of their peers. Create activities where students can develop their problem-solving skills and learn how to work through conflicts.

Teach them to be empathetic. Empathy goes a long way in helping students understand their peers and reduce bullying incidents.

You should also strive to build an emotional connection with your students.

Connect with them on an individual level. Offer support and show that you care about their welfare.

This will keep communication open and encourage those who witness or experience bullying to report to you.

4. Be on the Lookout for Gateway Indicators of Bullying

A student is unlikely to become a bully overnight. They will display some initial bullying behaviors that teachers and staff often dismiss as "kids being kids". These behaviors are known as "gateway indicators".

They signal the beginning of more intentional bullying.

Here are a few examples of gateway indicators:

Making fun at the expense of another student, such as their sexual orientation, social standing, or race

Eye-rolling

Turning their back on another student

Name-calling

Laughing cruelly at a student and encouraging others to do the same

These behaviors make bullying seem normal in the eyes of the students.

And although there are no hard rules to mitigate gateway indicators, stopping the kids at this point prevents these behaviors from escalating to a bigger bullying problem.

Respond to them in a way that shows they are wrong. For instance, talk about how the actions hurt the recipient's feelings.

It's Time to Reform Your School

Bullying prevention in schools is of utmost importance.

Physical bullying hurts student performance and has long-term behavioral, emotional, and psychological effects. And this applies to both the bullies and their targets.

You need a long-term and consistent strategy that will prevent bullying while also helping students become well-rounded individuals.

Get the cost-effective Whole-School Reform Model by Positive Action. It will promote a safe learning environment in your school and help eliminate bullying through:

Social-emotional learning

Improved academics

Families. Classmates. Pals. The gang from work. We humans are social animals and relationships are vital to our health.

Few things can affect us quite as strongly as the strength, length, and health of our personal relationships.

Which is what makes social bullying so devastating.

And so dangerous.

Today, we'll provide the information you need to identify and prevent social bullying. We'll be covering:

The Types of Bullying

The four types of bullying include:

Physical bullying - using violence to cause physical harm

Verbal bullying - using words to cause emotional harm

Social bullying - using various means to damage the victim's social reputation or relationships

Cyberbullying - using digital means to bully

Why Do Children Bully?

Bullying is the product of a power imbalance. The child who bullies another perceives themself in a position of power over the victim(s) and uses this power aggressively.

However, bullies simultaneously struggle with feelings of inferiority, often leading them to bully in the first place.

Children who bully generally feel:

Insecure - low self-esteem, low social/academic standing, physically insecure from abuse or neglect

Powerless - bullies are often bullied themselves and exert any power they do have by lashing out

A need to control others - with powerlessness and insecurity comes the need to wield whatever control they can because they are lacking control over their own lives

A need for recognition or reward - bullies often gain attention, good or bad, from others for their bullying (including adults)

What Is Social Bullying?

Social bullying is the use of various means to damage or destroy someone's social relationships. For this reason, it's often called relational aggression or relational bullying.

It's an insidious form of bullying because it takes many forms.

Social bullying can occur in person and as a form of cyberbullying.

In-Person Bullying

In-person social bullying looks like this:

Physical bullying meant to publicly embarrass, like tripping someone in the lunch line

Verbal abuse, such as encouraging others to engage in name-calling or telling a child they're not welcome in a group

Passive physical behaviors, such as ignoring another child or turning away from them

Passive verbal behaviors like telling others to ignore/exclude someone or spreading nasty rumors

Cyberbullying

Relational cyberbullying includes:

Posting embarrassing photos of the victim on social media

Spreading rumors using social media, texts, and chats

"Unfriending" and encouraging others to remove the victim from their online connections

Posting negative comments and insults on the victim's social media

Excluding or insulting on gaming platforms

Using humiliating nicknames in gaming platforms and other online groups and encouraging others to do the same

The Most Likely Victims of Social Bullying

The purpose of relational bullying is to damage or destroy the victim's reputation or social standing, or both. This explains why social bullying is most prevalent among young teens and tweens.

Developmentally, the years between 9 and 12 are when we become aware of who we are in relation to others. Our social reputation, social relationships, and what those outside of our family think of us gain primary importance.

Tweens become self-aware, placing importance on appearance, fitting in with others, and privacy.

Tweens also begin to become aware of their own and others' sexuality. They often face conflicts in dealing with the emotions and behaviors of their first crush or attraction.

Cyberbullying behavior is a big issue for tweens. They are often considered "old enough" to have cell phones and to be active on websites like Facebook, YouTube, gaming platforms, and others with less parental supervision.

This means that every child between the age of 9 and 12 is a prime target for a social bully.

The Effects of Social Bullying

Being socially bullied has serious negative effects on the victim's mental health. They can include:

Loneliness

Depression

Anxiety disorders

Social anxiety and avoidance

Physical distress like headaches or stomach aches, eating disorders, and sleep disruption

Behavioral problems such as acting out, withdrawing, displaying inappropriate emotion in social situations

These effects, especially those on the victim's mental health and social behaviors, can continue into adulthood.

Equipping Children to Deal With and Prevent Social Bullying

Fostering an atmosphere of trusted communication, relaying to students that they can talk to you about anything, is vital in dealing with bullies.

Define what is happening. Give them words to share their experiences.

Helping victims recognize that it's not their fault and that bullying is wrong, and not just mean, is also key.

Help them "save face" by bringing the attention to the bully's behavior. Also, remind them that some of their favorite celebrities have been victims, too.

Foster a school-wide environment that helps everyone feel safe, secure, and valued. By removing feelings of insecurity within the school community, children will be less likely to turn to bullying.
