Knowing the Difference Between Being Mean, Conflict, and Bullying
Acting Mean
This can be how a person feels on a particular day, not an everyday thing. These feelings usually are not targeted at specific individuals, but feelings can be hurt in the process.
Conflict
This happens when individuals have a disagreement with others. this can be over something they have done or said, and both sides play an equal role.
- Can be remorseful
- Happens occasionally
- Equal emotional reaction
- Not seeking power or attention
- Effort made to solve the problem
Bullying
This is unfair and one-sided. It happens when someone keeps hurting, frightening, threatening, or leaving someone out on purpose.
- Repeated hurtful actions
- Seeking power and control
- Trying to gain material items
- No remorse - blames others
- No effort to solve the problem
- Imbalance of power - not friends
What you Say in Here, Stays in Here
What you say in here, stays in here, unless:
- Someone is hurting you
- You want to hurt someone
- You want to hurt yourself
- You give permission to share with another trusting adult
