I don't think everyone understand the concept of bullying. To assist them, I have put together some information.
A dictionary's meaning of bullying is:
- a blustering, quarrelsome, overbearing person who habitually badgers and intimidates smaller or weaker people
According to Wikipedia:
- Bullying is an act of repeated aggressive behavior in order to intentionally hurt another person, physically or mentally. Bullying is characterized by an individual behaving in a certain way to gain power over another person.
Bullying comes in three different categories:
- Physical
- Emotional
- Verbal
Physical bullying includes:
- Punching, shoving, kicking
- Harmful and hurting physical contact
- Biting, choking, throwing things
- beating, stabbing, scratching
Emotional and verbal bullying includes:
- name calling
- silent treatment
- manipulation
- false gossip or rumours
- lies
- mocking
- saying things that trigger a reaction from past events
I have not done any of this. Please tell me exactly what I did that made me a bully. You have offended me in every way possible by calling me a bully. I would never bully anyone regardless of the situation.
You said it was peer pressure. You had the choice of choosing whether you would like to lend it to me. You chose not to. I didn't pressure you to let me borrow it. That doesn't make me a bully. I turned to someone for advice and to you, it is spreading rumours. That doesn't make me a bully. Not communicating with each other is normal in an argument. That doesn't make me a bully.
Personally, I can't find anything that makes me a bully, so if you would care to explain, I would be grateful.
