My Story
I knew someone who being bullied by a girl on the same sports team as her. She would physically push her and yell at her to her breaking point calling her names. The girl did not want to tell her coach because the team would be mad at losing a player. Also, she had to play with the bully for the rest of the season or maybe the next year. She decided to confront the team about it and they stood up for her and the bullying stopped. -

Intimidation
