But usually the imbalance of power is not that type of physical or age.

It has to do with several kids all ganging up on one kid, making them feel

Isolated, excluded, sort of no one will talk to them, no one will sit with them on the lunch table, everyone's avoiding their party or sitting with them or whatever it is.

So that's the distinction I think is really important to make that to be bullying behavior, there needs to be purpose, pattern, and power.

I teach it that way very specifically to kids because it's easy for them to remember.

And I try to let kids know that

There is power for them in identifying bullying properly, not over labeling it.

And also there's lots of skills that young people have and they should have, and we should encourage them to develop to manage rude behaviour and even mean behaviour independently.

But I want them to know what bullying is because I want them to get an adult's help with that.

Because of the imbalance of power, that's not something they're going to be able to handle on their own.

Everything's at stake.

There's self confidence, their willingness to go to school.

I think bullying can have an impact on grades, bullying can have an impact on certainly

Mental health as well as physical health.

There's all kinds of outcomes just like there's all kinds of people, right?

And I think you could meet adults that talk about their bullying experiences as children and maybe they they learned something from it.

There's still pain there, but they can find something good from it.

And there's others that had maybe similar experiences and it really was devastating to them.

So bullying affects different people.

in different ways over the long term.
