There are various types of aggressive behaviors that make up Acts of Bullying. Through trial and error, young aggressors evolve to become adult aggressors with a level of skill to repeatedly target and abuse their victims while navigating the constraint of social rules and morality that would elevate their actions to be addressed by their peers and others. As the young aggressor progresses through the Spectrum of Acts of Bullying, the repeated behaviors become more controlled, strategic, and resourceful as they evolve into adulthood. The final stage in the Spectrum of Acts of Bullying allows the aggressor to target and repeatedly abuse their victims in various settings while successfully navigating the constraints of internal and external policies and laws (Glass-Abdullah, 2022).
