Verbal bullying includes name-calling, insulting, making racist comments and constant teasing.
This type of bullying is the easiest to inflict on other children. It is quick and to the point. It can occur in the least amount of time available, and its effects can be more devastating in some ways than physical bullying because there are no visible scars. Relational Bullies Relational or relationship bullies try to convince their peers to exclude or reject a certain person or people and cut the victims off from their social connections. The most devastating effect with this type of bullying is the rejection by the peer group at a time when children most need their social connections.
