The three dimensions of bullying that our textbook addresses are physical, verbal, and relational bullying. Physical bullying involves physical aggression such as hitting, kicking, or pushing. Verbal bullying includes name-calling, teasing, and threats. Relational bullying involves social exclusion, spreading rumors, and manipulating friendships.

The effects of bullying can be severe and long-lasting. Victims of bullying may experience physical health issues such as headaches, stomachaches, and sleep disturbances. They may also suffer from anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. In extreme cases, bullying can lead to self-harm or suicidal thoughts.
