Bullying is not only done in schools... this is also seen quite often in the office but only a few have the courage to speak up. 
There are a lot of things that can be considered bullying or even, HARASSMENT. Here are the most common examples:
- physical bullying: being hit, tripped, kicked, pinched etc
- verbal bullying: being called names, teased, put down etc
- psychological bullying: being threatened, stalked, gestures etc
- social bullying: being ignored, having rumors spread about you, excluding someone etc
- sexual bullying: unwanted touching or brushing against someone, picking on someone because of their sexual orientation etc.
- cyber bullying: insulting someone in chat rooms, sending cruel or threatening emails/text messages; using the web, chat rooms or mobile phones to spread rumours or information about someone etc

If any of these are familiar or have been witnessed... speak up for you OR your friends! You just might be able to stop any further harassment.
