According to the
National Education Association, the NEA's article, National Bullying Awareness
Campaign, it states that bullying is systematically and chronically inflicting physical
hurt and/or psychological distress on one or more students. Now, there are two
ways in which this can be done: a direct form and an indirect form. A direct
form is going to be what the boys normally do: fighting, hitting, threatening,
name-calling, and insults. Indirect forms are more of the girls' way:
manipulation, rumors, gossiping, excluding, and rejection. |
