Verbal bullying is calling someone names, saying nasty things or making threats.
Physical
Physical bullying can be any cruel way of touching another person, like pushing, hitting or kicking someone.
It is usually more obvious to others as it can leave marks or bruises and people may see it happening.
Cyber bullying is when people use social media, , photos, videos, text or any other form of technology to target someone and make them feel bad. It can be easy for a bully to make comments from far away and they can communicate with the victim at any time. It can be done secretively and it can be embarrassing.

10. What Can You Do?
It is hard to stop bullying. Why do you think it’s so tricky?
Tell someone you trust – a parent, teacher, older relative. They will make sure it’s dealt with properly.
Be kind to the person being bullied. Someone who is being bullied can feel alone, sad and scared. Smile, talk to them or include them in something. It will make a big difference.
