Emotional bullying is when something is being done to make a person lose confidence or feel bad such as isolating a person. Some girls do this but it's not good. And bullying can be verbal. This is when someone is being teased, mimicked, insulted, or called names. If you are being bullied, it's important that you let your teacher know about it immediately.

The right thing to do is to report to a trusted adult so it can be stopped. If you tell your teacher, your teacher will let me know and you can be sure that we will take appropriate actions to stop it."
