There are many different types of bullying – in the real world and online.

This kind of teasing might not seem as serious as overt bullying, but it can still be upsetting and have long-lasting negative effects.
The more you can understand this kind of teasing – why it happens and how it feels – the more you can relate to your child's anxiety and distress.
