Introduction
Bullying is defined as "using superior strength and influence to influence someone to do what [the bully] wants." 1 in 6 kids nationwide have reported being bullied, and 1 in 8 have reported bullying based on ethnicity. Bullying can occur for a variety of reasons, but you've probably already learned that throughout your school career.
Hazing is defined as "humiliating and sometimes dangerous initiation rituals, especially as imposed on college students seeking membership to a fraternity or sorority." Hazing sometimes leads to deaths, especially if substances such as illegal drugs and alcohol are involved.
