Bullying can be…..

Physical: Punching, kicking, spitting, pushing, theft.
Verbal: Being teased, name calling, being rude.
Racist: Calling you racist names, graffiti.
Cyber: Saying unkind things by text, email, social media.
When is it bullying?

Remember some things you say to someone may be said to try and be funny but it may be hurtful to that person.
