Bullying is often intentional and targets a specific person, intentionally trying to either hurt or harm them. Bullying will often be repetitive, and it can be seen as an imbalance of power. Bullies will use force or coercion to intimidate or scare you. I often like to tell the youth that I work with a little secret…Bullies are hurting on the inside, way more than we can imagine. Often times people who hurt or cause harm to others are hurting too, and find that attacking others is a way for them to cope. It’s not a good way by any means. Bullies often see it as one of their outlets or ways to release their pain and sadness. Bullies often have so much more going on at home.
