The word bully dates back to the 1530s. In the most basic sense, it is a victim and a bully. However, over the years, the topic of harassment has quickly become widespread and broadened, making its definition more difficult to pin down so simply. Today we have many means, technological and otherwise, to harm others. More than ever. We are all familiar with the many types of bullying. Including cyber, physical, emotional, as well as many others. It can happen anywhere, from work to school to your local park and even behind your laptop screen. For some, school has gone from a safe environment to grow and learn to a daunting burden. To make things a little easier to explain, let's say that there are mainly three types of school bullies: • The physical bully: exactly what it sounds like; physical. Punching, kicking, shoving, or any other type of physical pain inflicted on someone. • The personal and social bully: probably the most common. These bullies act by singling out their peers in a social group. By constantly and publicly pointing out the victims' flaws, spreading rumors, etc. • The verbal bully: insults, racist insults, comments about the appearance or financial situation, or about the home life of their victims. In addition to the use of verbal threats. Although these types of stereotypes do not match the stereotypes that come to mind when we say the word bully, all of the above have an extreme, although not always immediate, effect on both the victim and the bully. It has been found that most likely no child will go their entire life without being affected by the affect, direct or indirect, of bullying. Indirectly affected are bystanders, who don't really face as high a risk of long-term effects as these. the plague... middle of paper ... how to deal with bullies in case they face it themselves, and especially when they witness it. Bullying will forever be a problem all over the world. Wherever there is diversity, different points of view, religions, ethnicities and upbringings, adolescents will always have something to torment others. (Even some adults.) So it is very important to know how teachers and parents can work hand in hand to not only learn from the consequences, or the blow, that bullying has on all societies, but also to work on prevention before it is necessary. We must work together not only for the sake of our children, but above all; our humanity. “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on a mouse's tail and you say you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality. »- Desmond Tutu
