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. Boys bully more than girls, and the tormenting is more often physical. Debra J. Pepler of the LaMarsh Centre for Research on Violence and Conflict Resolution at York University has reported that 23 percent of boys surveyed said they had engaged in bullying, compared to only eight percent of girls. Among victims, however, both genders were equally affected. With girls, bullying often takes more subtle forms, such as whispering campaigns, spreading rumours and shunning--acts designed to destroy friendships

One of the most prominent leaders of it was the Soviet Academician Andrey Sakharov. New movements started in the Baltic states, demanding the right to have a different opinion: people’s control over the actions of the government, establishment of a multi-party system, discharge of political prisoners and real independence were among the demands. To what extent is a human being free and able to direct his own destiny in the nightmare-like horrible and tormenting conditions of being between two great hostile powers? These themes became essential to the young poets: Paul-Eerik Rummo (b. 1942), Jaan Kaplinski (b. 1941), along with satire and irony on the decaying political and social system, for example, Avalikud laulud (Public Songs) by Hando Runnel (b. 1938). The short story became the leading genre in prose. Arvo Valton (b. 1935) portrayed an ordinary “small man” with his grief and shortcomings as well as the
Your portion is unhappily so small that it will in all likelihood undo the effects of your loveliness and amiable qualifications. As I must therefore conclude that you are not serious in your rejection of me, I shall choose to attribute it to your wish of increasing my love by suspense, according to the usual practice of elegant females." "I do assure you, sir, that I have no pretensions whatever to that kind of elegance which consists in tormenting a respectable man. I would rather be paid the compliment of being believed sincere. I thank you again and again for the honour you have done me in your proposals, but to accept them is absolutely impossible. My feelings in every respect forbid it. Can I speak plainer? Do not consider me now as an elegant female, intending to plague you, but as a rational creature, speaking the truth from her heart." "You are uniformly charming!" cried he, with an air of awkward gallantry; "and I am
that turns into tyranny when the lifelong victim finally gets power. H e is the dark possibilities in our hero, Simba. If Simba doesn't shake off his guilt and take respon sibility, he could turn out the same way, a rogue male living bitterly on the fringes, waiting for a weakness to exploit. T h e Jackals are a lower form o f life than the lions, living by scavenging rather than by noble hunting. T h e y are bullies who readily follow the tyrant because they enjoy tormenting his subjects and lording it over them. Rafiki, the crazy baboon witch doctor, was one of the most interesting char acters in the script, combining elements of a M E N T O R and a T R I C K S T E R . In early versions, I felt his function was not clear. H e was played for comedy, as a loony fellow who came around to make magical noises but who c o m m a n d e d no respect.
