Bullying has been recognized by the World Health Organization as a major public health concern that increases the risk of poor health as well as poor social and educational outcomes in children and adolescents. Bullying is an extremely prevalent global problem. A 2019 study from the United Nations found that almost 1 in three children worldwide had been the victim of bullying on one or more days within the preceding month.

Three major types of bullying have been described in the literature:

1. Traditional bullying - this category includes direct physical aggression or assaults; direct verbal attacks that are highly personal; and indirect covert behavior that damages peer relationships, self-esteem or social status.

2. Sexual bullying - examples include sexual harassment involving inappropriate and unwanted touching, using sexualized language, or pressuring another person to act promiscuously.

3. Cyberbullying - defined as aggressive behavior or emotional manipulation delivered through digital technology, specifically mobile phones, the internet, and social media.

A number of factors have been identified in the literature that influence the type, frequency, and severity of bullying experienced by children and adolescents. In general, children who are perceived to be "different" are at greater risk of victimization. This includes children and adolescents who are viewed as gender non-conforming, those with physical and/or learning disabilities, or those of a different race, religion, or socioeconomic status.
