Bullying can occur nearly anywhere on or around the school campus. Although it may occur more frequently in physical education classes, recess, hallways, bathrooms, on school buses or while waiting for buses, in classes that require group work, and/or after school activities. Bullying in school sometimes consists of a group of students taking advantage of or isolating one student in particular and gaining the loyalty of bystanders who want to avoid becoming the next victim. These bullies may taunt and tease their target before actually doing any physical harm to their target. Bystanders may participate or watch, sometimes out of fear of becoming the next victim.

Bullying can also be perpetrated by teachers and the school system itself: There is an inherent power differential in the system that can easily predispose to subtle or covert abuse (relational aggression or passive aggression), humiliation, or exclusion — even while maintaining overt commitments to anti-bullying policies.[93][94][95]
