(Remember to sign and return the LaSalle Parish Schools Anti-Bullying Contract the first week of school.) Bullying is the repeated and habitual use of force, threats, or coercion to abuse, intimidate or aggressively dominate others. It may be seen as “a part of growing up” or “kids being kids,” but imagine the child who is picked on every day, whether it is physically, verbally, socially or through cyberbullying.
