What is Bullying?

The different roles that a child can play in a bullying situation are,

• Bully
  • They will do anything that will harm or embarrass the victim.
• Victim
  • They are the people being bullied, sometimes bullies come from the victim position.
• Bystander
  • They are just as bad as the bully. They sit around watching the bully, sometimes egging them on.
• Upstander
  • They are the "Superhero" of the situation. These people tell an adult, or directly try to stand up to a bully, no matter what the cost.

There are many reasons that a person may be bullied, some of them are

• Identifying as LGBTQ
• Hair color
• Race or skin color
• Weight
• Being new
• Having glasses
• Wearing different or second hand clothing
• Not having a lot of money
• Having a social, mental or physical disability
• Being perceived as weak
• Not being popular
• Not having many friends

*and many more that I didn't mention. Having these isn't a guarantee that you will be bullied, its just what people will see more of the time in these situations.

I have had many different experiences with bullying. The videos you see below are clips from the documentary with each of my types of bullying that I experienced.
