Hazing: “The initiation of new members into a group by subjecting them to rituals that involve mental or physical discomfort, harassment, embarrassment, ridicule, or humiliation. Hazing is thought to promote group-relevant skills and attitudes, reinforce the status hierarchy, and create social dependency” ( APA, 2023, p. 1).
Roasting: Often involving school-age children in person or through social media. To roast is to tease someone or ridicule another. Sometimes, roasting may be based on appearance, actions, or personality. According to Matthew (2023), "roasting’ becomes bullying when it intentionally and repeatedly occurs to the same target against their will – meaning that the individual who is being ‘roasted’ feels powerless to stop it" (p. 1).
Bullying: "Persistent threatening and aggressive physical behavior or verbal abuse directed toward other people, especially those who are younger, smaller, weaker, or in some other situation of relative disadvantage" (APA, 2023, p. 1).
Cyberbullying: "Verbally threatening or harassing behavior conducted through such electronic technology as cell phones, e-mail, and text messaging" (APA, 2023, p. 1).
