six girls were found guilty of aggravated assault. Her death is an example of bullying taken to
its ultimate expression. But even in its mildest everyday forms, bullying is about one thing:
the strong taking unfair advantage of the weak.
Bullying has been defined as "the tendency for some children to frequently oppress, harass or
intimidate other children, verbally, physically or both, in and out of school."
It is not the minor behaviour problems that are a part of growing up, such as horseplay,
occasional good-natured teasing or even the odd physical scrap between children of equal
strength.
The most common form is name-calling. Children call others names for many reasons:
because the other child is short or fat, is of a different skin colour, or has a lisp, a stutter or a
physical disability. Maybe he is a slow learner or wears clothes that differ from the run of the
mill. Victims are often smaller or weaker than average, or shy and insecure.
