Summary

Bullies come in all shapes and sizes, and have all kinds of mannerisms that different people give different names for.

1:20.9	bullied him, and did other things that just made him feel angry and betrayed.
1:27.0	There's a whole story behind what happened, but I sent him a reply and that hopefully helped him.
1:33.0	However, it sparked in me an interest to discuss bullying,
1:38.0	particularly online, but the information today will apply to bullying in general and basically how
1:45.0	vulnerable we are to it. We are vulnerable to online bullying called cyberbullying in ways that you may not be aware of.

2:02.0	conversing with others through chat and social sites like
2:06.1	Facebook. Now what does that mean? Well, it means that when you are face to face with
2:12.1	someone you get feedback from them.
