[Beetlejuice]

Bullying takes many forms. The real problem with the word is how hysterical people get over it. That Helen was a bully last year is indisputable. Was she as horrid a bully as others? No, of course not. Did she have redeeming features? Sometimes.

The whole culture of this country is hysterical. It's not enough for people to put on a wristband, they have to make a load of noise, complain to ofcom, write to their MP, anything to let the world know they exist and should be celebrated for how much they care.

But the response to all that shouldn't be to deny that bullying takes place a lot, or to defend behaviour that is bullying just because it isn't as bad as other forms.
