Bullying is the use of force, coercion, hurtful teasing, comments, or threats to abuse, aggressively dominate, or intimidate one or more other people. The behavior is typically repeated and habitual, and it requires a perceived imbalance of physical or social power between the parties, which is what separates bullying from ordinary conflict. Bullying is considered a subcategory of aggressive behavior marked by hostile intent, an attempt by the aggressor to maintain or extend that imbalance of power, and repetition over time.
