Has the word bully been overused in here in situations that aren't 'really' bullying situations. I notice that every year the word is trotted out here there and everywhere about some of the contestants. Big Brother has become much stricter in the last few years and ANY behaviour that they deem to be unacceptable has been dealt with by warnings etc. If Big Brother feels that a housemate is extremely upset because of being verbally assassinated or any other kind of unsocial behaviour both the 'victim' and the instigators have been called to the diary room. I was the victim of bullying when I was going to school and I was picked on by older girls when I was only little. That was BULLYING. I don't feel that ANYONE is bullying anyone in the house ( not really) they are being vicious and bitchy yes but I don't feel that any of the housemates is too weak to be able to put up with it. Just an opinion xx

I was bullied at school too. And I recognise their behaviour all too well. Jale's handling it really well... but it doesn't change the fact that their behaviour is bullying. I see the accusation on here year after year, and this is the first time I've ever thought the label was justified.

Oh gosh if i see the word one more time, i think most people have come up against people that try and belittle or ostracise them at some point in their lives, it doesn't stop because you leave school, it happens at work, on the internet, everywhere, as an adult you learn how to deal with people who want to demean you, Jale is fine so far she is coping well, it won't be the first time she has had to fight her corner.
