This week we're excited to bring you another episode where we answer your most frequently asked questions in 60 seconds or less. Today's question is: What's the difference between bullying and conflict? Now that you have a question, let's get into the answer.

Bullying is different than conflict. Let's start by looking at the definitions. Conflict is a disagreement or argument in which both sides express their views or opinions. Bullying is a negative behavior directed by someone exerting power or control over another person with the goal to hurt, harm, or humiliate.

Now let's look at what makes bullying and conflict different as there's two main differences. The first is that with bullying there's an imbalance of power between those involved, meaning the person that's bullying has more power. This could be power in many ways. It could be physical power, social power, or power in numbers.

Now, with conflict, on the other hand, there's equal power between those involved. The second difference is that with bullying students will continue their behavior when they realize it's hurting another person. However, with conflict, students will generally stop and change their behavior when they realize it's hurting or harming another person.

And that's a wrap on this week's episode of Pacer Talks about Bullying. Make sure to join us right back here next week as we have students answer the exact same question. We'll see you then, and remember, together we can create a world without bullying. See ya.
