Introduction
Bullying is repetitive, intentionally aggressive behavior that causes hurt or discomfort to another person.
Bullying comes in many forms: violent or unwanted physical contact, behavior meant to provoke a fight or confrontation, verbal comments meant to belittle, demean or control, or other kinds of actions with the intent of harassing, humiliating or otherwise causing emotional and/or physical discomfort. Bullying may feel and be unprovoked, and people experiencing bullying often feel powerlessness to defend themselves. Remember that you are not at fault and that there is nothing wrong with you.
Bullying is more than physical or verbal abuse. It can also take a toll on mental health. Coping with being bullied is different for everyone, but we’re going to review some things that can help if you or someone you know is being bullied.
Cyberbullying is using technology, such as email, texts, social media, online gaming, or pictures to hurt or harm someone else with unwanted, aggressive, and repeated behavior.
Bullying is never okay, cool, or acceptable.
No one EVER deserves to be bullied.

Conclusion
Schools and individual classrooms that tend to be supportive of all children tend to prevent bullying.
Effective bullying prevention programs at school tend to be school-wide and involve education of students, teachers, administrators, and parents on what bullying is and the extent to which it is harmful for all involved, understanding how others may view victims, and how to get help.
Yearly surveys of kids can help maintain awareness of how severe the bullying problem is in a school.
Just informing the parents of bullying victims tends to improve the victim child's quality of life.
Successful anti-bullying programs increase playground supervision, provide clear consequences for bullying, and teach students who are bystanders to bullying how to stand up for victims so that bullying behavior gains a stigma rather than being socially beneficial.
