Cyber Bullying
When a child or teenager is harassed, humiliated, embarrassed, threatened, or tormented using digital technology. This is not only through the internet; it can also take place in text messages from cell phones. Cyber Bullying can only happen between minors because when an adult is harassing children or teenagers it is then cyber harassing or cyber stalking.
Verbal Bullying
The goal with this type of bullying is to degrade or demean the victim, while making the aggressor look strong and dominant. This type of bullying is more common with girls because they are, in general, more subtle than boys. They use this and isolation techniques to show that they have power.
School Bullying
This relates to all types of bullying done within a school. This could be peer-to-peer bulling, an older child bullying a younger child or a teacher as the victim or the culprit. Sometimes a single group will gain up on one student and bullying them or sometimes there will just be one-on-one bullying.
Text Bullying
This is very similar to cyber bullying, but because of the advance of technology, we are able to have phones and are able to send messages to whoever we want, as long as we have their number. This type of problem can have serious side effects and parents may not even know that it's occurring because other than the messages, there is no physical evidence. Middle school, the most common time for bullying, is also when children begin to get phones, making this a likely form of bullying.
