Bullying has been an ongoing problem for students, but the issue is becoming more critical with changes in the society and the school systems. A bully is no longer "a person who hurts, frightens, threatens, or tyrannizes over those who are smaller or weaker". According to Tracy Cross, the definition of a bully now is evolving to include any person who limits another person's behavior. This limitation can be caused by physical bullying or emotional intimidation and generally includes a power inequality. With this new definition, the author realizes that twice-exceptional learners are limited by so many individuals in their educational system, and some may not have the appropriate communication skills to address these bullies. As a result, these twice-exceptional students are at a greater risk of experiencing the negative impacts of bullying. In order to help twice-exceptional students, the author suggests that teachers need to be proactive in their classrooms to establish positive learning environments. They need to be vigilant in the halls and classrooms and attend to the behaviors that contribute to bullying. Parents also need to let their children know that they support them first by acknowledging their feelings and then by brainstorming strategies to deal with the issue with their child.
