Victim must be in a Weaker Position (either smaller physically or with less social pull)

Behavior Occurs Frequently (conservative estimates are greater than or equal to once a weak)

Behavior Does Harm (the victim is physically or mentally harmed by the behavior)

With this rather simple definition one must then move forward to make it clear that there are also several types of bullying

Physical Bullying (including violence or threat of violence) (80)

Social Bullying "when a girl (or boy) is shunned and excluded by others. Social bullies may conspire to humiliate their victims by discouraging others form associating with her and spreading rumors that mock or demean her." (80)
