Peer aggression includes all the following types of aggression:

• Physical
• Verbal
• Relational

All of these types of aggression affect both boys and girls.

Physical aggression is visible and often easily recognized. It is a student physically harming someone or threatening to harm him or her. Verbal Aggression can usually be heard and overheard, so it can often be recognized.

Verbal aggression is when a student is using words to hurt someone. Put-downs, intimidating, name-calling, taunting, making faces, and eye rolling are all examples of verbal aggression, even when a person says they are "just kidding."

Relational aggression is behavior that is intended to hurt someone by damaging or manipulating his or her relationships with others. This is much less obvious than physical or verbal aggression, but painful nonetheless. Relational aggression sometimes takes the form of:

• exclusion
• building alliances against another person
• spreading rumors and gossip
• the silent treatment
• ignoring someone
• forming exclusive clubs or cliques

If a bullying event is occurring, we encourage your child, as a victim or a bystander, to notify an adult. If they do not and report only to the parents at home, ask for a meeting with the homeroom teacher. School administration and teachers are not always present to witness incidents or areas of concern, and therefore can only intervene when informed about them. Administration will take action to investigate and follow up with all appropriate parties and take appropriate action.

For more information on our anti-bullying policy, go to page 14 in our Parent/Student Handbook.
