Bullying
There is no legal definition of bullying. But it is usually defined as repeated behaviour which is intended to hurt someone either emotionally or physically, and is often aimed at certain people because of their race, religion, gender or sexual orientation or any other aspect such as appearance or disability.
Bullying can take many forms including:

Bullying can happen anywhere: at school, travelling to and from school, in sporting teams, between neighbours or in the workplace.
