Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior that involves a real or perceived power imbalance that is used against another person.
Bullying is a threat to a persons' physical and emotional safety. The best way to address bullying is to stop it before it starts. Bullying can be prevented when the power of the community is brought together. Bully prevention classes can help identify and support children who are bullied, redirect the behaviors of children who bully, and change the attitudes of those who tolerate bullying
behaviors. (stopbullying.gov).
