- What is bullying?
I think bullying is when somebody (or you) forces somebody else to do something that he/she wants. To say it easier, it is similar to being mean, but with more violence.

- Sexual bullying that leaves a person out because of their gender and the bully demonstrates an unwelcome behavior.
- Emotional bullying involves excluding or embarrassing somebody.
- Racial bullying which includes calling names.
- What strategies do you have to cope with bullying?
You can always deal with bullying. One of the best way of dealing with bullying is by ignoring the bully. You can ignore them by walking past them when as if they are not there. Also, you can ignore them by not answering them if they talk to you, Finally, you can scream at them to “STOP THAT!!” (not crying, scream loudly and firmly). You can also go and tell an adult such as the teacher or the principle (if you are a student going to school).
