Definition
Besag
1989:
“Bullying
is a behaviour which can be defined as the repeated attack, physical,
psychological, social or verbal in nature, by those in a position
of power which is formally or situationally defined, with the intention
of causing distress for their own gain or gratification.”

is an attitude rather than an act. It can be defined as bullying
by measuring the effects the acts have on a vulnerable child.”
