Sub-Track:
Bullying is described by the Centers for Disease
Control as a type of "youth violence" against a victim involving unwanted offensive
actions from a bully. At the root of bullying is a power imbalance of social status, income,
physical strength or size, whether perceived or real. Bullying, resulting in
physical, psychological, social or educational damage, may be replicated over
periods of time.
In appearance, sexual orientation, cultural identity
or disability, children and adolescents at greater risk of being bullied are often thought of
as different.
