The aim of bullying is to cause embarrassment and humiliation in the subject" (Health 4.6). 

They tend to have issues of their own that they try and feel better about by bullying. ]]> 2019-05-06 16:59:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mackenzie_barker/aupjw7d6a113/wish/357287606 mackenzie_barker https://padlet.com/mackenzie_barker/aupjw7d6a113/wish/357289040 Most tend to believe or think that bullying is only something that can be done physically. This however isn't true. " While many people think of bullying in terms of physical harm and danger, this is not the only type of bullying harassment out there" (Health 4.6).

" Even in its non-physical forms, bullying and harassment are meant to intimidate and terrorize the victim" (Health 4.6)

 If you are being bullied, or know someone who is, try to talk to an adult or trusted person immediately about the situation. It can take a serious toll on their mental health and they can turn to some very unfavorable solutions. ]]> 2019-05-06 17:09:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mackenzie_barker/aupjw7d6a113/wish/357292817
