Being the target of bullying can be painful and damaging. And when you are targeted because of an aspect of who you are—your core identity or a facet of it—that can be particularly destructive. It can cause you to internalize negative messages about that part of your identity and crush your self-esteem in lasting ways.

​

Identity-based bullying resides in the intersection of bullying and bias. It is defined as any form of bullying related to characteristics considered part of a person’s identity or perceived identity group, such as race, religion, disability, immigration status, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical appearance, etc. Because identity-based bullying targets who the student is—a core part of their identity—it can be especially harmful. It impacts not only the individual student but everyone else around them who identifies in the same way and who worries that they may be the next target. It also affects the rest of the school community by sending a message that anyone’s identity is fair game.

​

Identity-based bullying refers to any form of bullying related to the characteristics considered unique to a child’s identity, such as their race, religion, sexual orientation or physical appearance. These forms of bullying are not only targeted at an individual, but reflect negative attitudes towards a wider sub-community or group to whom that individual identifies with (or is believed to identify with). Young people in such groups may be more vulnerable to or at risk of experiencing bullying and can benefit from more targeted support.
