Bullying is generally defined as, "unwanted, aggressive behavior that involves a real or perceived power imbalance....including actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose." Bullying can also occur through electronic means, such as social media, email, or texting.
