So I'm watching GMA this morning and they're talking about this high school football game in Texas where one team won 91 - 0 and one of the parents of a student on the losing team filed a complaint against the coaching staff of the winning team for bullying. Even though they'd put in their 3rd string players, run out the clock, called no time outs etc...
Anyway, GMA had this child behaviorist on and she was talking about how she defines bullying and it was really good. I didn't want to lose the ideas, so her definitions is this. The ABCD of bullying. A - is it aggressive? B - Is there an imBalance of power? Boss/employee, teacher/student, senior/freshman etc.. C - Is it constant? And D - is it Deliberate?
That's bullying folks! Not bad reviews, not disagreeing with someone, not winning. People need to stop diluting the real problem of bullying by applying the word to everything that makes them feel bad/sad/weepy/hurt etc...
