hostile environment at school for the other student; infringing on the rights of the other student at

school; or materially and substantially disrupting the education process or the orderly operation of

a school; such as, but not limited to, the following: Any unwanted physical contact between the bully

pranks, teasing, fighting and the use of available objects as weapons; Any act that causes damage

to a victim’s psyche and/or emotional well-being; Any slanderous statement or accusation that

causes the victim undue emotional distress like directing foul language or profanity at the target,

name-calling, tormenting and commenting negatively on victim’s looks, clothes and body; and

 Review Relate Literature

The word “bully” was first used in the 1530s meaning “sweetheart,” applied to

either sex, from the Dutch boel “lover, brother.” Of probably diminutive of Middle High

German buole “brother,” of uncertain origin (compare with the German buhle “lover”). The

meaning deteriorated through the 17th century through “dine fellow,” “blusterer,” to

“harasser” pf the weak”. This may have been as a connecting sense between “lover”

And “ruffian” as in “protector of a prostitute,” which was one sense of the “bully”(though

not specifically attested until 1706). The verb “to bully” is first attested in 1710 (Zwerdling,

1987).
