Intimidation

Intimidation is when someone tries to scare you or make you feel small with their words or actions. It is a form of bullying and it can make you feel really uncomfortable or scared. Intimidation can include things like yelling, name-calling, threatening, or making fun of you. Someone who is trying to intimidate you might also try to control what you do or make you feel like you have to do things their way. No one should have to be intimidated by another person, and it's important to stand up for yourself and not let anyone bully you.
