If you are not sure whether something has become bullying, stop and think and ask yourself these six key questions:

Are my actions or words hurting someone else's feelings?

Are my actions or words hurting someone else physically?

          Are my actions or words making that person feel afraid?

          Would I want someone else to do this to me?
