Bullying is generally defined as an intentional act that causes harm to others, and may involve verbal harassment, verbal or non-verbal threats, physical assault, stalking, or other methods of coercion such as manipulation, blackmail, or extortion. It is aggressive behavior that intends to hurt, threaten or frighten another person. An imbalance of power between the aggressor and the victim is often involved. Bullying occurs in a variety of contexts, such as schools, workplaces, political or military settings, and others.
A imbalance of power such as physical strength, access to embarrassing information, or popularity—to control or harm others. Power imbalances can change over time and in different situations, even if they involve the same people. Bullying is a behavior that occurs more than once or has the potential to occur repeatedly. There are three types of bullying, verbal, physical and cyber.
Bullying can occur at any point and anytime in a persons life. It can occur in any environment wither it is cities, suburbs, or rural towns. There is not a single factor that causes a person to be a victim of a bully but there are some risk factors that make some more suitable to bullying or what is called "targets". These risk factors are but not limited to those with disabilities, LGBT community and those who are socially isolated.
