They refrain from and discourage others from engaging in violence, threats, intimidation, and other conduct intended or likely to cause physical injury, emotional pain, humiliation, embarrassment, shame, or a feeling of being left out or excluded. This includes: 1) Unwelcome physical touching (i.e., they keep their hands to themselves). 2) Cruel, unkind, or deliberately hurtful or embarrassing gossip. 3) Physical intimidation, cyberbullying, harassment, and mean-spirited teasing or taunting.
