Bullying vs. Being unkind

Being Unkind:

- One-time: hurtful actions or words, like saying something mean or not sharing.

- It might happen accidentally or just once, but it can still hurt feelings.

- Example:If someone says, "I don’t want to play with you today," it’s unkind but may not happen again.

Bullying:

- Repeated mean behavior, like teasing or leaving someone out on purpose, happening over and over.

- It’s done to make someone feel sad or scared, and it’s not an accident.

**Example:If someone keeps calling you names every day, that’s bullying.

The difference is that being unkind can happen once, but bullying is when the meanness happens again and again. Both are hurtful, and it’s important to be kind to everyone!

•Stay calm and walk away.

•If others are nearby, join them so that you are not alone.
