All children and even adults like to fit in, have friends and feel accepted. So, sometimes they have to endure types of bullying.

Who ever came up with the phrase “Sticks and stones can hurt my bones but words can never hurt me” must never have had someone call them names or make fun of them.

The first type of bullying is called, Name-calling or Teasing, these are forms of verbal bullying. Name-calling was the most prevalent form of bullying identified in many studies. “When someone kicks or punches us it hurts us on the outside, while when someone teases us or calls us names, it hurts us on the inside.” (Wikipedia). In many classrooms teasing and name-calling are the most common forms of bullying. Unfortunately, because they don’t leave scratches or bruises and often happen when there are no adults around, they can go unnoticed by parents or teachers

Exclusion, it is another type of bullying, this is when a person or a group of people live someone out, I mean, when this group of people won’t let play someone with them, join a group activity or will invite everyone to come to a party or take part in a game except for one person on purpose.

Physical Bullying, some kids not only tease others or exclude others; they can also be physically abusive. Kicking, punching, pinching, pushing are all forms of physical bullying. It is never okay to hurt someone physically even if they have hurt you. While it can be very tempting to hit someone if they have hurt you in some way, this is not going to make you feel better or solve the problem. Being physically bullied is incredibly scary for a victim and puts them at great risk. “Many children have been seriously injured by physical bullying. Often, the kids doing this end up hurting victims more than they meant to. In some cases, victims have been killed accidentally” (Students).

Cyber-bullying is bullying that takes place on the internet or with cell phones. It can take the form of many of the above forms of bullying, the only difference is instead of happening face-to-face, it takes place on-line via websites, chat-rooms or text-messaging. “The cyber-bully may send the victim threatening emails, take pictures or video of them and post them on-line or say mean things about the victim in a chat-room.”(Education). While all forms of bullying are very hurtful and embarrassing for the victim, cyber-bullying can be especially painful because of how many people may see the photos, videos, name-calling or teasing
