Wednesday Vision:
Is it RUDE? Is It MEAN? Is It BULLYING?
Rude = Unintentionally saying or doing something that hurts someone else.
Mean = Intentionally saying or doing something to hurt someone.
Bullying = Intentional hurtfulness, repeated over time, that involves an imbalance of power.
Scenario: Devin and David are friends. In school, they had an argument. Devin called David a name and David shoved him out of his way.
Answer: Devin and David are engaging in rough play, or rude behavior. This is not bullying because the boys are usually friends, the power balance is relatively equal and the boys are not intending to harm each other.
Scenario: Lance tells Damien that he can’t play football at recess because he is the worst receiver in the whole 7th grade.
Answer: Lance is being mean. It appears that his words are intended to hurt Damien. There is no evidence of repetitive behavior or a power imbalance, however.
Scenario: Margaret is making fun of the fact that Jane hangs out with the boys at recess and wears long basketball shorts to school every day. For several days in gym class, Margaret told her to go play on the boys’ team if she was going to dress like one.
Answer: Margaret is acting like a bully. She is making fun of Jane repeatedly, with intention to cause harm.
