Three Definitions

There are three things we had to define in Health class. We had to define bullying, sexual violence, and sexual harassment. Bullying is when one kid picks on another kid doing things such as hitting, scratching and saying bad things about them. When a boy bullies someone, they usually tease, trip them, name call, steal lunch money, and do other mean things. Girls usually ignore someone or exclude someone from a group of friends.

Sexual violence is when someone acts inappropriately toward someone from the opposite sex. This is done through threats, intimidation, and inappropriate behavior toward them. The victims are usually female. People are usually this way because they saw violence as a kid or having friends that act this way.

Sexual harassment is someone who does something inappropriate to another person, usually of the opposite sex. People are encouraged to get help to stop the harassers if this is happening. If if the harasser is someone who works with the victim, then the victim could tell the boss. If not, then the victim should call the police.
