There are three main categories: direct, indirect, and relational.  In direct bullying, the bully is being deliberately aggressive or hostile towards you, either face-to-face or via phone, social media, or some other means of communication.  Indirect bullying is when the bully is blaming you for something, or saying or doing something that makes you feel bad about yourself.  Relational bullying involves someone using their relationship with you as a way to hurt you.  For example, if they know you like them and they stop talking to you.
