Bullying is when a person keeps teasing even though they know it bothers or hurts you. Bullying can also be fighting,

• hitting

• kicking
• punching
• threats

It's important to remember that bullying does not have to be physical (like hitting); it can be teasing that does not stop.

What is teasing?

Teasing is making fun of someone or a put-down (doing or saying something that makes someone feel bad about themselves).

Watch out for teasing disguised as joking!

When someone says or does something that hurts your feelings (like calling you a name) or hurts you physically (like grabbing or hitting) and then says, "Oh, I was just joking!" That's not joking if it hurts you.

Joking should be fun for everyone who is involved.
