Understanding Bullying Behaviors: Types and Levels of Abuse

Bullying encompasses various harmful behaviors that can be categorized into three levels: Level I, Level II, and Level III. Level I includes verbal, emotional, and social bullying such as taunting, gossiping, and giving dirty looks. Level II escalates with physical threats, harassing behaviors, and emotional insults targeting self-esteem and relationships. Level III involves severe acts like extortion, public humiliation, and physical cruelty, often using intimidation to control victims. Recognizing these behaviors is essential to combat bullying effectively.
