Introduction
Bullying is a pervasive social issue that affects individuals of all ages, races, and backgrounds. It is a form of aggressive behavior that involves repeated acts of intentional harm or harassment towards another individual, characterized by a power imbalance. The impact of bullying can be severe, resulting in mental, emotional, and physical consequences for the victims. Additionally, bullying has far-reaching effects on society as a whole, influencing social dynamics, personal growth, and well-being.
