Three major types of bullying have been described in the literature:
1. Traditional bullying - this category includes direct physical aggression or assaults; direct verbal attacks that are highly personal; and indirect covert behavior that damages peer relationships, self-esteem or social status.
2. Sexual bullying - examples include sexual harassment involving inappropriate and unwanted touching, using sexualized language, or pressuring another person to act promiscuously.
3. Cyberbullying - defined as aggressive behavior or emotional manipulation delivered through digital technology, specifically mobile phones, the internet, and social media.
A number of factors have been identified in the literature that influence the type, frequency, and severity of bullying experienced by children and adolescents. In general, children who are perceived to be "different" are at greater risk of victimization. This includes children and adolescents who are viewed as gender non-conforming, those with physical and/or learning disabilities, or those of a different race, religion, or socioeconomic status.
The MediFocus Literature Guide to the Physical and Emotional Consequences in Victims of Bullying is a comprehensive reference Guide to the literature that will be of particular interest to attorneys who represent clients who have been the target of either traditional, sexual, or cyberbullying. The articles included in the Guide focus on the physical, mental, educational, and social negative consequences among childhood and adolescent victims of bullying.
