This is a Bully

· Physical assaulter

· Verbal taunting, name caller, put downs, spreader of rumors

· Threats and intimidation

· Stealer of money and possessions, extortion

· Hostile, threatening, or obscene body gestures

· Lack of empathy towards others

National research shows the effects of bullying can last a lifetime. Victims have an increased chance of academic failure and health problems, low self-esteem and inability to connect socially.

There are long-term implications for bullies as well. Research shows that youths who bully typically have a criminal record by age 24.
