Bullying versus abuse – is there a line?
Bullying is a form of abuse or harassment and is traumatizing, but there is a fine line between bullying and abuse. This happens to children and young people all over the world – all disguised under the misapplied term of "bullying". The word “bullying” does the victims of it injustice in some way. What these young people (and adults, for that matter) experience is physical abuse, verbal abuse, psychological abuse and sexual abuse/harassment.

** Would you classify the bullying you have faced as abuse? **
