VERBAL BULLYING
WHAT IS
IT?
Verbal bullies
use words to hurt or humiliate another person. Verbal bullying includes
name-calling, insulting, making racist comments and constant teasing.
This type of bullying is the easiest to inflict on other children. It is
quick and to the point and can occur in the least amount of time
available. Its effects can be more devastating in some ways than
physical bullying because there are no visible scars.
