bellringer - 2.16.11

25-26. There are four main types of bullies. Brainstorm some examples of each of the four types, perhaps ones you have experienced themselves.

The four primary types of bullies are:
1)    Aggressive bullies – the most common type, generally belligerent, fearless, coercive, confident, tough, and impulsive.
2)    Passive bullies – rarely provoke others or take the initiative in a bullying incident but join in after an aggressive bully instigates a situation in an attempt to gain his/her approval.
3)    Bully-victims – victims of bullying who resort to bullying others out of frustration with the bullying they endure. 
4) Relational bullies – the most common type of bully among girls, but not limited to females, these    bullies try to gain social status and power through exclusion and manipulation of others.
