Bullying can leave permanent physical and emotional injuries.
Most bullying is verbal, not physical, like mocking, name-calling, and spreading hurtful rumors. Bullies enjoy bullying . New research shows that they enjoy the power of bullying and making other people suffer. Far from regretting their acts, they often rationalize them by saying the victims provoked them in some way. Victims of bullies are often avoided and rarely defended by their classmates because they don't want to chance becoming the bully's next victim.
