Schoolyard taunts are insults that are typically used by children in a schoolyard setting. They are usually derogatory and can be hurtful to the person being targeted. Common examples of schoolyard taunts include name-calling, teasing, and mocking. These taunts can have a lasting impact on the person being targeted, and can lead to feelings of low self-esteem and depression. It is important for adults to intervene when they witness schoolyard taunts, and to teach children how to handle these situations in a respectful manner.
