Peer conflict is a normal part of life distinctly different from bullying. Bullies are driven to force their will on others. In normal peer conflicts, individuals can be directed to see another point of view. Conflict with a bully is not logical. In normal peer conflict, individuals can give reasons for their disagreement, negotiate, and come to an understanding of the causes and possible solutions to avoid the conflict in the future. Bullies do not negotiate, they blame. In a normal conflict, the combatants often offer sincere apologies and become better friends as a result of the process. If bullies apologize, the apology is often followed by an immediate attack on the victim outside the presence of authority. – “Bullying vs. Normal Peer Conflict,”
