Labelling
When you label an individual, you are fundamentally putting them into a stereotypical class of people. For example, if you like rap music some people might automatically label you as a ‘Gangster or thug' which is very stereotypical especially if you aren't a gangster or thug.
Bullying
Bullying is when a group or individual uses their power to intimidate people. There are different forms of bullying; which includes: physical, cyber and verbal bullying, bullying at the work place, bullying at school amongst students. All of these types of bullying can lead to distress or even mental health issues. Depending on the age of the individual that is experiencing the bullying, it can really affect them, several teenagers have committed suicide as they were being bullied for several different reasons. Whereas, some adults may have had to leave their job as they were being bullied or abused.
