BULLYING AT SCHOOL

Kids with hemiplegia (one-sided paralysis) are more likely to be victimized, to be rated as less popular, and to have fewer friends.
TYPES OF BULLYING Physical: actions harming another person’s body Verbal: speaking to a person or about a person in a
demeaning way Emotional: isolating, humiliating, or upsetting
another person Sexual: singling out a person for unwelcome sexual
attention Racial: rejection/isolation
