Social exclusion is a form of bullying experienced by some children. When it occurs, they feel isolated, alone, and humiliated. It's important for parents to be informed and talk with their children about all types of bullying (e.g., verbal, physical, social/relational, and cyberbullying) so they're better equipped to intervene or prevent their child from bullying others or being a victim of bullying.
