Bullying Awareness

The effects of bullying go beyond the school yard. As a parent, here’s what to watch for, what you can do, and where you can go to get help.

What is bullying?

Bullying is typically a form of repeated, persistent, and aggressive behaviour directed at an individual or individuals that is intended to cause (or should be known to cause) fear and distress and/or harm to another person’s body, feelings, self-esteem, or reputation.

Bullying occurs in a context where there is a real or perceived power imbalance.
