Introduction to Bullying What type of bullying do they feel is the most damaging? What bullying have you come across in your role? What challenges might exist in dealing with bullying?

Bullying Vs Conflict Conflict is: Bullying is: a disagreement or argument that can be ongoing and long-lasting; it can be a disagreement of thoughts, feelings or opinions. Conflict involves two or more people equally: both are involved and not one person is to blame. Bullying is: the conscious desire to hurt, control, threaten or frighten someone repeatedly. A sense of powerlessness can make it difficult for the bullied to defend his/her self.
