    What is Bullying? 

    San Juan Unified is guided by the following definition from the evidence based Olweus Bullying Prevention Program (OBPP): Bullying is when someone repeatedly and on purpose says or does mean or hurtful things to another person who has a hard time defending himself or herself.

    1. A specific type of aggression
      • Verbal
      • Physical
      • Psychological

    2. Behavior that is intended to harm or disturb

    3. Behavior that is carried out repeatedly and over time

    4. An imbalance of power which can be physical or psychological.
