According to the Cambridge Dictionary bullying means: “the behaviour of a person who hurts or frightens someone smaller or less powerful, often forcing that person to do something they do not want to do”. The dictionary also mentions that bullying is often a problem in schools and in workplaces, it is also very common on online platforms.

Bullying is an ongoing and deliberate misuse of power in relationships through repeated verbal, physical and/or social behaviour that intends to cause physical, social and/or psychological harm. Single incidents and conflict or fights between equals are not defined as bullying.
