PEER BULLYING
Peer Bullying can be defined as the psychological pressure that a student exerts on another student through verbal, emotional, or intimidation. Sometimes it can apply pressure from a group of students. Those behaviors repeat and become organized. Bullying behaviors do not always include direct hostile behavior.
