BULLING


Bullying is the intentional tormenting of others through verbal harassment, physical assault, or other more subtle methods of coercion such as manipulation. There is currently no legal definition of bullying.
The effects of bullying can be serious and even fatal. About 85% of bullying victims suffer long term psychological damage and stress related disease later in their lives.
There have been many examples of people dying as a result of bullying. Victims of bullying either commit suicide or are killed by their bullies. There are also cases of death occurring as an indirect result of bullying, such as bullies or other people killed by victims of bullying.


CIBER-BULLING
Cyberbullying occurs in electronic space. According to Canadian educator Bill Belsey, it:
"involves the use of information and communication technologies such as e-mail, cell phone and pager text messages, instant messaging, defamatory personal Web sites, blogs, online games and defamatory online personal polling Web sites, to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behaviour by an individual or group, that is intended to harm others".Bullies will even create blogs to intimidate victims worldwide.
