 Where does bulling happen?

As the verb to bully is defined as simply "forcing one's way aggressively or by

intimidation", the term may generally apply to any life experience where one is
motivated primarily by intimidation instead of by more positive goals, such as
mutually shared interests and benefits. As such, any figure of authority or power who
may use intimidation as a primary means of motivating others, such as a neighborhood
"protection racket don", a national dictator, a childhood ring-leader, a terrorist, a
terrorist organization, or even a ruthless business CEO, could rightfully be referred to
as a bully. According to psychologist Pauline Rennie-Peyton, we each face the
possibility of being bullied in any phase of our lives.

School bullying
Bullying can occur in nearly any part in or around the school building, although it may
occur more frequently during physical education classes and activities such as recess.
Bullying also takes place in school hallways, bathrooms, on school buses and while
waiting for buses, and in classes that require group work and/or after school activities.
Bullying in school sometimes consists of a group of students taking advantage of or
isolating one student in particular and gaining the loyalty of bystanders who want to
avoid becoming the next target. In the 2011 documentary Bully, we see first hand the
torture that kids go through both in school and while on the school bus. As the movie
follows around a few kids we see how bullying affects them both at school as well as
in their homes. While bullying has no age limit, these bullies may taunt and tease their
target before finally physically bullying them. Bystanders typically choose to either
participate or watch, sometimes out of fear of becoming the next target.

Closed Doors
I cry myself to sleep at night
Just wishing it would stop
Maybe tomorrow it will
cease
Then again, maybe not
You push me and you poke
me
You call me hurtful name
To me it's like a prison
To you it's fun and games
Your heart is made of ice
But it doesn't even deserve
that
Mine was once a rainbow
But you have moulded it to
darkest black
I hate you, I hate everyone
There is no one I can trust
Are you proud of what
you've done?
You've turned my soul into
dust
If there was a door I could
open
A simple path I could tread
I don't want to be stuck here
forever
In this endless spiral of
dread.
All I Ask
I'm sorry I don't impress you
Don't act the way you want
I'm sorry I'm not pretty  We may not understand
Bullying poems
And don't have much to
flaunt
I'm sorry you can't accept
me
For the way I am inside
I'm sorry that your cruel
words
Make me run and hide
I'm sorry I'm not in your
clique
And that I don't fit in
I'm sorry that being born, to
you,
Was such an awful sin
I'm sorry I'm so ordinary  Please save me, friend, don't
Not an extraordinaire
Does that give you reason,
though,
To stand and cast your
glare?
I don't know what to tell you
To make you stop your
games
And I can't think of a way
for you
To take back all those
names
Please answer me this
question
And please be honest, too
What do you get from
hurting me?
What does it do for you?
each otherOr ever get along
But I've never said one word
to you
Never done you wrong
So do me just one favor
Just one simple task
Please stop being mean to
me
This is all I ask
Stand Up!
I am just a teenager, with
hopes and dreams.
How can you stand by when
you hear me scream?
leave me be.
Think of you here instead of
me.
Think of the pain and the
humiliation.
I know it's hard, but why
accept hesitation?
My blood was cheap, not in
your hand,
But if you had wanted, you
could stand.
Stand up to bullies, don't
back away.
Believe in yourself, you will
have your day.
Don't give up, you are
strong.
It will be over, it won't take
long.
 Bullying types
Bullying is divided into four basic types of abuse :

1. Physical

2. Emotional

3. Verbal

4. Cyber

Physical bullying
This is any bullying that hurts someone’s body or damages their property. Stealing, hitting, fighting,
and destroying property all are types of physical bullying. Physical bullying is rarely the first form of
bullying that a target will experience. Often bullying will begin in a different form and later progress
to physical violence. In physical bullying the main weapon the bully uses is their body when
attacking their target. Sometimes groups of young adults will target a peer because of some
adolescent prejudice. This can quickly lead to a situation where they are being tortured and beaten-
up by their classmates. Physical bullying can lead to a tragic ending and it must be stopped quickly
to prevent any further damages.
Emotional bullying
This is any bullying that is done with the intent to hurt somebody’s reputation or social standing.
Emotional Bullying is a form of bullying common amongst youth, but particularly upon girls.
Emotional bullying can be used as a tool by bullies to both improve their social standing and control
others. Unlike physical bullying which is temporary, emotional bullying can continue for a long time
without being noticed.
Verbal bullying
This is any bullying that is conducted by speaking. Calling names, spreading rumors, threatening
somebody, and making fun of others are all forms of verbal bullying. Verbal bullying is one of the
most common types of bullying. In verbal bullying the main weapon the bully uses is their voice. In
many cases, verbal bullying is the province of girls. Girls are more subtled (and can be more
devastating), in general, than boys. Girls use verbal bullying, as well as social exclusion techniques,
to dominate and control other individuals and show their superiority and power. However, there are
also many boys with subtlety enough to use verbal techniques for domination, and who are practiced
in using words when they want to avoid the trouble that can come with physically bullying someone
else.

Cyber-bullying

Cyber bullying is the use of technology to tease, threaten, embarrass, or target another person. When
an adult is involved, it may meet the definition of cyber-harassment or cyberstalking, a crime that
can have legal consequences and involve jail time. This includes email, instant messaging, social
networking sites (such as Facebook), text messages, and cell phones.

Prevention
Bullying prevention is the collective effort to prevent, reduce, and stop bullying. Many
campaigns and events are designated to bullying prevention throughout the world.
Bullying prevention campaigns and events include: Anti-Bullying Day, Anti-Bullying
Week, International Day of Pink, International STAND UP to Bullying Day, and
National Bullying Prevention Month. Anti-Bullying laws in the U.S. have also been
enacted in 23 of its 50 states, making bullying in schools illegal
