You had someone else hurt someone you don't like. Signs that you bully. Okay, time for the truth. Or at least time to consider if you have a confession to make! There's a boy or a girl (or maybe more than one) whom you've repeatedly shoved, or punched or physically pushed around in a mean way just because you felt like it. You had someone else hurt someone you don't like. You've spread a nasty rumor about someone, in conversation, in a note, or through email or instant messaging.

You and your friends have regularly kept one or more kids from hanging out or playing with you. Examples: at your lunch table at school, during sports or other activities, or activities that are a part of a club or other kind of group activity. You've teased people in a mean way, calling them names, making fun of their appearance, or the way they talk or dress or act. You've been part of a group that did any of these things - even if you only wanted to be part of the crowd.
