determine if its bullying using R I P Scenario #1: Every day during
lunch, AJ pushes Junior out of line to get ahead of him. AJ is
older and louder than Junior, who is usually shy and quiet. Junior
asked him to stop several times, but AJ keeps doing it. R Repeated
(more than once) I Imbalance of Power (involve or be characterized
by) P - Purposeful (intent to do harm) Slide 5 Scenario #1: Every
day during lunch, AJ pushes Junior out of line to get ahead of him.
AJ is older and louder than Junior, who is usually shy and quiet.
Junior asked him to stop several times, but AJ keeps doing it. R:
It happened every day during lunch. If it happened twice, it would
be enough to meet the repeated requirement. I: AJ is older and thus
may have more power. Imbalance of power can also include who has
more friends, or different personality types. For example AJ is
loud and Junior is shy and quiet. P: Junior asked him to stop, and
AJ didnt. This shows that AJ knew it was unwanted behavior and it
was hurting in some way. Junior continued to be hurtful on purpose.
Slide 6 Scenario #2: A week ago Allie got a new haircut, and since
then, a group of girls at her school have been telling her she
looks ugly. Allie told them that it hurts her feelings and even
started to cry one day. The girls didnt stop and continued to make
fun of her. R: The incident started a week ago, and its implied its
happened several times since then. Even if an incident happened in
the morning and on the same day another incident happened in the
afternoon, it would be considered repeated. I: A group of girls has
more power than a single girl; this is called social status or
social power. P: Allie told the girls it hurt her feelings and they
continued to make fun of her. They knew she didnt like it and they
continued to be hurtful on purpose. Slide 7 Three people involved
