What counts as bullying?

Tuesday, 9 November 2010

Bookmark and Share


Today in the First News office we heard about some people in government allegedly bullying junior staff.

No one at First News thinks that bullying is okay - and according to our poll, Should Bullying Be a Crime?, none of you guys think it is acceptable either.

If someone is making you feel bad it's best to speak out against them. 

But what counts as bullying?

Comments: i think bullying is also hurting peoples feelings because as well as the above it hurts you in side as well as the outside

Comments: It should only count as bullying if it is done again and again.

Disco12 voted for Other (please say) on Sunday 4 September 2011

Comments: I don't think shouting at someone counts as bullying. I'm not entitrely sure whether making someone feel stupid is bulling, either. Physically hurting someone PURPOSEFULLY or to someone that's younger or smaller than you is definately counted as bullying. Shouting probably counts if you do it to someone that's younger or smaller than you and making someone feel stupid, but in a specific way, could be bullying too. It all counts on the situation and in the way it's done.

Comments: shouting at someone is not bullying in itself, but bullies may shout at you. I think that when people walk up to someone and say stuff liek 'why do you have no friends' that is bullying, and i think that doing mean stuff to people for fun or laughing when bad stuff happens to someoen that is bullying

Comments: I think there are lots of types but the main ones are: Making someone feel stupid, physically hurting someone, constantly targeting one person and offending them by discrimination/prejudice/racism. I myself come from a very multicultural school and there seems not to be any bullying so maybe it helps if there are more than one of you! x

Juli voted for All of the above on Tuesday 23 February 2010

Comments: All, that is partly why it is soo bad. The bully will use one or more of the above things because they know it will hurt you individually most. for example if your are phisically stronger than the bully, they will hurt you mentally. So for differrent people bullying is different, but all of the above are under the catagorie 'BULLYING'
