Types of bullying

Any child can be bullied, particularly younger children and those who have few
friends or are easily intimidated. At any age, bullying can take many forms. For
instance, physical bullying includes hitting, punching, kicking and other types of
physical harm as well as destruction of a child's property. Besides physical bullying,
verbal and cyberbulling are also common. Verbal bullying includes teasing, name-
calling, as well as spreading gossip or malicious rumors. Cyberbullying, on the other
hand, includes harassing emails, instant messages and text messages, as well as
intimidating or threatening websites, blogs or posts.
