To have power, that is where you can have the intent to hurt or harm. The problem we have sometimes with young people is they don't realize the power they have.
For example, as I just said to the chair...I made a joke. I can do that with him; he's a friend of mine. I might say the same type of thing to someone who's not quite as good a friend and they might take that as something that was really hurtful, even though I didn't mean to hurt him or the other friend.
A lot of it has to do with the perception of the victim as much as it has to do with the intent of the person who's being accused of bullying. Would you agree? Are those some accurate statements?
Thank you. They're nodding, just for the record.
