Bullying can occur anywhere: on campus, at college, or online. Regardless of where it happens, it can cause significant distress and impact wellbeing.

People may bully to:

• Gain a sense of power or social status
• Feel in control due to low self-esteem
• Release anger or frustration
• Because they have been bullied themselves

Persistent bullies often do not see their behaviour as wrong and may show little regret unless addressed.
