What is Bullying?
- Physical aggression: hitting, kicking, pushing, choking, punching;
- Verbal aggression: threatening, taunting, teasing, starting rumors, hate speech;
- Exclusion from activities: This does not mean that a student should have to be friends with every other student; it does mean that children should not be allowed to systematically exclude others: "No one play with Mary;" "No one wants to play with him;" "Don't be her friend."
Bullying in schools is against FEDERAL law and Fayette Co. Public School Policy!
Please speak with your student about bullying behaviors!
