What is the difference between BULLYING and an argument or conflict between friends?

23. What is Bullying?
Bullying is different from the typical disagreements or arguments between friends or classmates.
It’s bullying if:
One person is hurting or harming another with words or behavior
It is being done intentionally
The person being hurt has a hard time defending themselves from the behavior
The kids are doing it for more power
“Power” can include such things as being older, being physically bigger or stronger, having more social status, or when a group of kids “gang up “ on someone

No remorse – blames victim
No effort to solve problem
