Bullying
PROBLEMS OF WELL-BEING
What’s a bully?
“A blustering, quarrelsome,
overbearing person who
habitually badgers and
intimidates smaller or
weaker people.”
The Conflict Theory and Bullying
Conflict Perspective: A Sociological perspective that views society as comprising different groups and
interests competing for power and resources.
Neo-Marxist conflict theorists are concerned with conflict that arises when groups have opposing
values and interests.
Bullying happens when the bully believes that they are more powerful than the person being bullied.
Like patriarchy, when the bully feels their power is being threatened they will react by harming
everyone they believe is questioning their authority; just like the man of the family would discipline his
wife and children when feeling his power is being threatened in a patriarchy system.
Targets chosen by the bully are never at random. They are most commonly chosen because the bully
feels envy towards them. This is especially common when the bully lives with abusive parents, lives in
a low-income family, has trouble with school, is neglected from family, etc. Therefore, the values and
interests of the bully and the person being bullied differ causing conflict.

What types of bullying are there?
Physical Verbal Social Cyber
Physical Bullying
“Physical bullying is a form of bullying that
involves some sort of violence against another
person.”
Examples…  Fighting
 Pushing
 Stealing
 Sexual harassment.
 Tripping
 Spitting
 Destroying property
Physical bullying
creates fear of the
bully. This leads to
the bully gaining
power and authority
over all that feel that
they are weaker.
Verbal Bullying
Examples…  Insulting
 Teasing
 Name Calling
 Intimidation
 Homophobic or racist
remarks
 Verbal abuse
“when an individual uses verbal language to
gain power over his or her peers..”
Social Bullying
Examples…  Gossip
 Spreading rumors
 Leaving people out on
purpose
 Convincing others to
not be friends with the
bullied individual
“Social bullying is deliberate, repetitive and
aggressive social behaviour intended to hurt
others.”
Cyber Bullying
Examples…  Insulting, harassing or
threatening someone via
computer
 Impersonating a victim
online
 Posting personal
information, photos, or
videos to hurt or
embarrass another person
“the use of technology to harass, threaten,
embarrass, or target another person.”
Cyber bullying is one of
the easiest ways to gain
power and authority
because there is no
confrontation and the
bully can disguise
themselves as someone
else
