Introduction
Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercoin to abuse, intimidate , or aggressively dominate others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential prerequisite is the perception, by the bully or by others, of an imbalance of social or physical power, which distinguishes bullying from conflict. Behaviors used to assert such domination can include verbal harassment or threat, physical assault or coercion, and such acts may be directed repeatedly towards particular targets. Rationalizations for such behavior sometimes include differences of social class, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, appearance, behavior, body language, personality, reputation, lineage, strength, size or ability.
Bullying ranges from simple one-on-one bullying to more complex bullying in which the bully may have one or more "lieutenants" who may seem to be willing to assist the primary bully in his or her bullying activities. Bullying in school and the workplace is also referred to as peer abuse. Robert W. Fuller has analyzed bullying in the context of Rankism.
A bullying culture can develop in any context in which humans interact with each other. This includes school, family, the workplace, home, and neighborhoods. In a 2012 study of male adolescent American football players, "the strongest predictor was the perception of whether the most influential male in a player's life would approve of the bullying behavior.
Bullying is continued harassment though acts of domination towards another person, either through physical or emotional abuse. It can be done in person or even through online chat rooms and social media sites. This behavior is specifically meant to cause emotional or physical harm to the victim.
Teenagers bullying habits can include, but are not limited to, threatening and demeaning behaviors meant to belittle or target someone, hostile texts and messages, obsessive calls, stalking, internet harassment, social media attacks, name calling or other berating behaviors, physical intimidation, and even more overt physical acts of violence.

Task
Hardworking Ariana Mondragon attends the exclusive Lipa City Private Colleges by a scholarship she gets because of an incident. She finds her shallow, privileged classmates unbearable, especially the notorious F4. Rich, handsome, and arrogant, Richard Faulkerson, Ezikiel Deus, Francis Glenbenito, and Joseph Medinela are the kings of the school and no one, not even the teachers, dare challenge them. No one, that is, except Ariana Mondragon. Angry at their rudeness, Ariana tells off F4's leader Richard, bringing a world of trouble upon herself. One day when Ariana entered the gate of the prestigious school, “It’s F4!” Somebody scream and the F4 entered. Everybody gave way for them except Ariana handling a cake. She was on her way to give the cake to Richard but unfortunately, she fell on the ground with her cake landing on Richard’s shoe. Ariana tried to apologize but Richard declined it. Ariana thought that he is a kind person but she’s wrong, he is too arrogant. He said that he will forget what happened if she will lick it. Ariana already bent down but before she lick his shoe, she stood up, punch Richard, threw the money from her pocket to his face and said “Here!!
