Bullying

We may only think of the word bullying in the context of school kids beating up or teasing another, but bullying is a very real thing in the modern work place. Bullying is any intentional harm from one person to another. This can include physical harm, verbal torment, or mental manipulation. This kind of peer abuse can just be a clash of personalities, but it can also escalate to levels where serious damage is caused.

The type of bullying is often defined by the place that the harassment is taking place. Here are some examples of the most common types of bullying:

Workplace Bullying

If you are bullied at your place of work, this is considered workplace bullying. This harassment can come from your coworkers or boss in any form. Statistics show that one in every six people is bullied at work.

Cyber Bullying

While much more prevalent in the news, some are still not aware of this new phenomenon. Cyber bullying occurs on the web, through any type of messaging, blogs, or websites which are aimed to harm a specific person.

Hazing

This type of bullying is often a way to prove or test a person for entry into a specific group of people. However, although this type of bullying is arguably consent driven, there is a line that is often crossed.

Bullying is a serious offense that should reported to the proper authorities. Everyone deserves to be comfortable in their living environments.
