A bully or a bullying group seeks power over others by intimidation. Bullies seek power by teasing, name calling, hitting, extortion, exclusion and hazing. They use friends, chat rooms or bulletin boards on the internet as bullying tools.

This campaign, launched in September 2004, features NCPC's beloved crime, and now bullying-fighter, McGruff. It is designed to counteract bullying at a young age by encouraging victims, witnesses and parents to take action to prevent the problem.
The latest work targets boys and girls age 7-10 and teaches children that they can help a victim without confronting the bully. The PSA demonstrates the most effective action for witnesses is to invite the victim to walk away with him or her. Then McGruff sums up the solution, "Friendship beats bullies every time!"
Kids are encouraged to visit www.mcgruff.org to find more tips on
dealing with bullies and other troubles. An interactive, online
"webisode" was also created for this campaign. Play Stop the Bully
