As mentioned previously, bullying is an abusive behavior by one or numerous students against one or more individuals; it is a way to overpower another person through humiliation and embarrassment. Furthermore, the prevalence of bullying has increased over the years and for some Canadian students, it is a constant difficulty. According to Youth in BC, ten to eleven percent of students report that they are bullied every day or every week, which is approximately sixty thousand victims in BC alone! (YIB, n.d.). According to this statistic, it is obvious that bullying is not a small scaled problem and that it is a commonality amongst many adolescents. Bullying can be direct or indirect in the following three categories: verbal bullying, physical bullying and non-verbal/non-physical bullying. Verbal bullying can be direct and it includes taunting, teasing, name-calling or indirectly through malicious gossip (Fleming and Towey, 2002). Physical bullying can be direct through hitting, kicking, shoving, sexual harassment, destruction or theft of property or the bully will assign a friend to assault a targeted individual (Fleming and Towey, 2002). Non-verbal and non-physical bullying can include a display of threatening and obscene gestures or intentional isolation of a person from a group, manipulation of friendships and/or cyber-bullying (Fleming and Towey, 2002).
