This type of bullying is very subtle and is very common in girls, though boys sometimes use it as well. Examples are:
- Emotionally isolating someone.
- Shunning peers and excluding them from games, lunchroom chatter and not including them when handing out invitations to parties.
- Spreading lies and rumors in order to ostracize someone.
- Anything else that causes another person emotional pain is considered emotional bullying.
