    INTRODUCTION

    The definition of a bully is a blustering, quarrelsome, overbearing person who habitually badgers and intimidates others. Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Bullying includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose.Behaviors that are traditionally considered bullying among school-aged youth often require new attention and strategies in young adults and college students. Many of these behaviors are considered crimes under state and federal law and may trigger serious consequences after the age of 18.

    Types of bullying include; verbal, social, and physical. Verbal bullying: teasing, name-calling, inappropriate sexual comments, taunting, and threatening to cause harm. Social bullying: leaving someone out on purpose, telling others not to be friends with someone, spreading rumors about someone, and embarrassing someone in public. Physical bullying: hitting / kicking / punching, spitting, tripping / pushing, taking or breaking someone’s things, and making mean or rude hand gestures.

    Bullying is an increasing problem in today’s society. It’s something that affects children from grade school all the way up to adults in college. Various research studies have been done to figure out the short and long term effects of bullying. Nearly 1 in 3 students report that they have been bullied during the school year. Bullying is a far more serious problem than the attention that has been given to it the past few years. There are many effects of bullying, however the three most common are: emotional, physical and performance in school

    The emotional effects can vary from short term to long-term effects. The emotional effects are changes in someone’s feelings, mood, and thoughts. Some of the most common effects are depression and anxiety. Many people become depressed because they start believing the things they are told, and start to lose confidence
