Bullying
Bullying is defined as sustained harassment directed at one person by another individual or group. It is repeated, verbal, physical, social, psychological behavior that is harmful and involves the misuse of power by an individual or group towards one or more persons. Cyber bullying refers to the same behavior that takes place through social media or information technologies. Bullying behavior can be:
-
Verbal (name calling, teasing, abuse, put downs, sarcasm, insults, threats)
-
Physical (hitting, punching, kicking, scratching, tripping, spitting)
-
Social (Ignoring, excluding, ostracizing, alienating, making inappropriate gestures)
-
Psychological (spreading rumors, dirty looks, hiding or damaging possessions, malicious text or email, posting of photos)
The school looks at each situation and applies appropriate consequences, up to and including suspension and expulsion. A primary factor is whether or not the behavior is sustained or is one time only. One time only behavior may be inappropriate and against school rules, but may not be considered bullying because it is not sustained.
