Who is Involved in a Bullying Scenario?

It's important to recognize the potential impact bullying can have for all students.

Who is involved

Target = Person who is being bullied

Student who bullies = Person whose actions cause hurt or harm

Witness or bystander = Person who sees or knows of the behavior

Note: "Person" may mean one individual or a group of people

Can someone be involved in more than one role?

YES! It’s often the case that the person being bullied, the person doing the bullying, and the person witnessing bullying are not distinct parts! It’s more common that students play multiple roles throughout the day.
