"Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively dominate others..."

"Behaviours used to assert such domination can include verbal harassment or threat, physical assault, and such acts may be directed repeatedly towards particular targets..."

"Such behavior sometimes include differences of social class, race, religion, gender, appearance, behaviour, body language, personality, reputation, strength, size, or ability..."

"or toward the elderly..."

"Bullying is divided into four basic types of abuse – emotional, verbal, physical, and cyber..."

"Bullying ranges from one-on-one, individual bullying through to group bullying called mobbing..."

"Bullies could be someone like your neighbours..."

"or the people you work with at your job..."

"Bullies don't know what is right or wrong..."

"only to entertain their curiousity..."

"Bullying is not acceptable..."

"What should be done?..."

"Responding to bullying varies..."

"Take a deep breath..."

"Bullying is typically ongoing and not isolated behaviour..."

"Ignoring it often does nothing to stop the bullying continuing, and it can become worse over time..."

"Bystanders play an important role in responding to bullying, as doing nothing can encourage it to continue, while small steps that oppose the behaviour can reduce it..."

"Authority figures can play an important role, such as parents in child or adolescent situations, or supervisors, human-resources staff or parent-bodies in workplace and volunteer settings..."

"Some of the most effective ways to respond, are to recognise that harmful behaviour is taking place, and creating an environment where it won't continue..."

"Bullying prevention is the collective effort to prevent, reduce, and stop bullying..."
