Introduction
Bullying is the use of force or coercion to abuse or intimidate others. The behavior can be habitual and involve an imbalance of social or physical power. It can include verbal harassment or threat, physical assault or coercion and may be directed repeatedly towards particular victims, perhaps on grounds of race, religion, gender, sexuality, or ability. If bullying is done by a group, it is called mobbing. The victim of bullying is sometimes referred to as a "target".
Bullying may be defined as the activity of repeated, aggressive behavior intended to hurt another person, physically or mentally. Bullying is characterized by an individual behaving in a certain way to gain power over another person.

'exposed, repeatedly and over time, to negative actions on the part of one or more other persons'. He says negative actions occur 'when a person intentionally inflicts injury or discomfort upon another person, through physical contact, through words or in other ways.(Olweus:1999)

A “bully” in the 1950’s would have been defined as someone who singles out weak classmates and picks on them, in a physical way.

(break.com/topic/bullies) As time progressed, it became easier to identify and recognize what we considered a “bully”. Needless to say, years ago, the outward appearance of a bully usually consisted of the kid with larger statue, stronger and visually a much scarier looking individual that terrorized everybody else. Although bullying consisted of physical behavior during that time, there was a safe zone where the victim could escape the bully, it was home. Today a victim can be bullied in his or her own home and it may or may not ever be recognized…
