If someone makes fun of someone everyday, it could be bullying
(if there is also an imbalance of power & purposeful)
*** Sometimes people may be unaware that they are bullying. Might not understand social cues to know teasing repeatedly may bother others
- May not be purposeful then

8. To recognize bullying, ask:
Is someone using power in a hurtful way?
What are ways people have or use power?
* having more friends/ more people
* being older
* better job/position/toy etc.

9. Examples of how others may use power in a hurtful way
A girl has an electronic game that many students are interested in, but she will only let certain people play with it.
The girl controls who uses the game to gain power over the others.
A boy says, “You can’t play with us because you’re not in our club.”
- Being part of a club gives the students in it power over others who want to join

10. Bullying- using power People may get their power from:
Having games (or other things)
Having certain friends or more friends
Being bigger or older
More popular than someone else
None of these things are bad, unless they are used to try to hurt or control others.
When a person tries to hurt or control others using these things, then that person is bullying.

13. Let’s look at scenarios and determine if it’s bullying using R I P
R – Repeated (more than once)
I – Imbalance of Power 
P - Purposeful (intent to do harm)
Scenario #1: Every day during lunch, AJ pushes Junior out of line to get ahead of him. AJ is older and louder than Junior, who is usually shy and quiet. Junior asked him to stop several times, but AJ keeps doing it.

14. Scenario #1: Every day during lunch, AJ pushes Junior out of line to get ahead of him. AJ is older and louder than Junior, who is usually shy and quiet. Junior asked him to stop several times, but AJ keeps doing it.
R: It happened every day during lunch. If it happened twice, it would be enough to meet the repeated requirement.
I: AJ is older and thus may have more power. Imbalance of power can also include who has more friends, or different personality types. For example AJ is loud and Junior is shy and quiet.
P: Junior asked him to stop, and AJ didn’t. This shows that AJ knew it was unwanted behavior and it was hurting in some way. Junior continued to be hurtful on purpose.

15. Scenario #2: A week ago Allie got a new haircut, and since then, a group of girls at her school have been telling her she looks ugly. Allie told them that it hurts her feelings and even started to cry one day. The girls didn’t stop and continued to make fun of her.
R: The incident started a week ago, and it’s implied it’s happened several times since then. Even if an incident happened in the morning and on the same day another incident happened in the afternoon, it would be considered repeated.
I: A group of girls has more power than a single girl; this is called social status or social power.
P: Allie told the girls it hurt her feelings and they continued to make fun of her. They knew she didn’t like it and they continued to be hurtful on purpose.
