Yeah I kinda agree... I guess it's a tough subject though because everyone is different - I know that when I was a kid, if someone even slightly made fun of me I would find that really upsetting, burst into tears and be miserable; whereas other kids wouldn't stand for that and would have a comeback and it wouldn't be an issue at all... and then as teenagers; somebody getting beaten up every day after school and somebody who gets made fun of for being a little bit overweight could both feel as bullied as one another but obviously one of those is more obviously 'bullying' than the other, yet there's only one term that gets used to describe that experience (bullying) and it doesn't seem right to try and make a differentiation between types of bullying because that sort of cheapens it and makes a mockery of anyone who's ever felt bullied... oh you were only getting made fun of, no one hit you or stole your things or pushed you around, it's not as serious as that...
