Understanding the Three Types of Bullying: Verbal, Physical & Relational
- Verbal bullying: Spoken or written communication intended to hurt or humiliate—name-calling, teasing, threats, derogatory comments.
- Physical bullying: Physical contact meant to harm or intimidate—hitting, kicking, shoving, any physical aggression.
- Relational bullying: Behavior designed to damage social relationships—spreading rumors, deliberate exclusion, isolating from peers.
All forms can cause serious psychological harm and require appropriate intervention.
