Physical Bullying

DEFINITION:

Physical Bullying involves hurting a person’s physical body or their possessions. It can also include physical INTIMIDATION, which means implying a physical threat. Source – StopBullying.gov »

EXAMPLES OF PHYSICAL BULLYING:

Pushing, shoving, spitting, tripping, intimidation, getting in someone’s face, making aggressive hand gestures, taking or breaking someone’s things, and more.

REPEATED BEHAVIOR:

Most forms of Physical Bullying will be considered Bullying, even if they are a one-time event. Less severe physical incidents, however, such as pinching, poking, etc., need to be repeated before they are considered bullying. The severity of each incident is determined at the school’s discretion.

WHAT ABOUT SELF-DEFENSE?

Self-Defense means protecting your physical body and repelling the instigator of a physical attack until the moment you are able to get away. Students should not be punished for defending themselves from the instigator of an active attack. Self-Defense is different than Retaliation. Retaliation means attempting to “get-even” or hurt someone after the fact, even when the threat is no longer actively happening. Retaliation is not allowed at our school, and students who retaliate will be held accountable. Source – FindLaw.com »

MANDATORY REPORTING:

Please report any threats or criminal behavior to the police by calling 911 right now. Some incidents are required to be reported immediately to the police or to the department of human services, including suspicion of child abuse or neglect.

Verbal Bullying

DEFINITION:

Verbal bullying involves repeatedly saying or writing things that are meant to be hurtful or controlling. It can also include VERBAL HARASSMENT, which means bullying someone for their personal attributes, such as their body, skin color, race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. Source – StopBullying.gov »

EXAMPLES OF VERBAL BULLYING:

Repeat name-calling, insulting, mocking, taunting, harsh sarcasm, using racial slurs toward a person, sexual slurs toward a person, and more.

WHAT ABOUT TEASING?

Teasing involves playful insults among friends. Teasing is not the same as Verbal Bullying because it does not create a power-imbalance, and if you asked the person to stop, they would stop. Teasing can turn into Verbal Bullying if you ask the person to stop and they refuse to stop. The excuse, “I was only joking” will not be tolerated, and repeated incidents should be reported as Bullying.

WHAT ABOUT HATE SPEECH?

Using hate speech directly toward a person is considered verbal bullying. However, making hateful comments toward a group of people should be reported as Inappropriate Behavior > Inappropriate Language.

REPEATED BEHAVIOR:

Although many forms of bullying are a repeated behavior, some severe incidents can be considered bullying, even for a one-time event. The severity of each incident is determined at the school’s discretion.
