Recognizing Bullying and Harassment

It can be difficult to recognize bullying and harassing behaviour as not all inappropriate, offensive, or disrespectful conduct is considered bullying and harassment. The behaviour or comments must be humiliating or intimidating and can take place one time or repeatedly over time. Here are some examples that might suggest bullying and harassment is happening:

Verbal aggression or insults; calling someone derogatory names
Vandalizing personal belongings
Sabotaging someone’s work
Making aggressive or threatening gestures
Engaging in harmful or offensive initiation practices
