Bullying definitions

Bullying is a pre-planned, pre-meditated act to cause someone or something harm. Bullying is about imbalance of power, whether perceived or real. When young children react "automatically" without thinking by striking back or name calling, this shows poor social skills this is a "teaching moment", not bullying.
