Don't let anyone bully you into thinking bullying is not important!

Bullying is characterized by repeated physical or verbal interactions that are meant to be hostile, cause distress, and involve a power differential between bully and victim (1). While certain characteristics of bullying distinguish it from other forms of aggressive behaviour (for example, its repetitive nature and power differential), bullying can occur in many forms across the lifespan, from playground interactions to dating violence, workplace harassment, and elder abuse. This In Review series focuses on bullying occurring in childhood and adolescence.
