Bullying

 Today's tasks are based on Bullying and the effects it has on a relationship.

So... What is bullying? Bullying is many different things and can come in many different forms. Anyone can be bullied - it isn't limited by age, sex, sexuality, cultural or religious background. Bullying is a lot more common than people think and can happen in many different environments including school, at home, on the sporting field or at work. Types of bullying include: __**Verbal** **bullying** -__ such as name calling or put downs, threats, teasing, including sexual harassment and innuendo (it might also be extended to written form through email or sms). __**Physical** **bullying** -__ being punched, tripped, kicked or having your belongings stolen or damaged. It might also include sexual abuse. __**Social** **bullying** -__ being left out, ignored or having rumours spread about you. __**Psychological bullying** -__ you are given dirty looks or stalked, often less obvious or direct than other forms of bullying or making you feel intimidated or manipulated.

How can bullying make you feel? Being the victim of bullying can lower your self-esteem and you may feel alone, sad, depressed, angry, scared or confused. If you are being bullied it is not your fault and there is nothing wrong with you. Don't be afraid to let someone know that you are being bullied as they may be able to help you.
