2 Key Characteristics of Bullying 0 Bullying differs from other forms of peer aggression in that there is an imbalance in power. In this way, it is similar to child abuse or intimate partner violence. 0 Consequences of frequent bullying (once a week or more) are serious. Children who are bullied may experience related depression, school avoidance, or social anxiety, often into adulthood. Children who bully are at a higher risk of subsequent involvement in the criminal justice system and of continuing bullying in adult life.

3 Key Characteristics of Bullying 0 Peers are typically involved as bystanders. The behavior and attitudes of bystanders can inhibit or facilitate bullying behaviors. If peers support the targeted child or express disapproval of the bullying child, bullying usually subsides. Most children who bully are sensitive to peer responses to their behavior.

4 Key Characteristics of Bullying 0 Children who bully are not necessarily lacking in self-esteem, empathy, or general social skills. However, such children are more likely than children who do not bully to have lower competence in managing emotions, empathy, evaluation of consequences and problem solving. Many children who bully are popular among peers and with adults. 0 While family and community environment, peer associations and personality traits do influence bullying behaviors, the most important factor determining the occurrence of bullying in schools is school climate. School climate is generally defined as the subjective experience or perception of the school by students and school personnel. School climate is primarily influenced by school norms, disciplinary practices, and the behavior of adults in the school.
