Bullying

Bullying is something which happens in the context of a relationship. It can be subtle or it can be blatant. It can cause short-term suffering or it can go on for years. It can be for clearly identified reasons, such as race, actual or perceived sexual orientation, differences in ability, physique, social class or for no clearly defined reason. It is always damaging and it must always be taken seriously and addressed.
