Bullying involves an initial desire to hurt. This urge is expressed in action. A more powerful person or group directs the action. She reflected upon the past to a time where fear rose with her each morning. Loser! loser! Here comes the black loser! they chanted. Surrounded, Sarah panicked.

The memories may fade with time but the scars will remain forever.
