I was bullied in primary school by someone two years below me who was physically heavier than I was, even though I was taller. For no reason at all, she started following me around every interval, pushing me around, hitting me, making nasty comments and getting her friends to gang up on me. Eventually, one day, when she had been pinching and hitting me, I pushed her away. She played the victim card and ran howling to her teacher: I got lectured and threatened in front of her class, and it was reported back to my parents, who lectured and threatened me more. I wasn't given a chance to explain or defend myself.

..I'm not saying that bullying doesn't happen in primary schools just that not everything is bullying and can quite often be clashes of characters..in the case of Jim in the BB house, I don't see anything that would be bullying...obviously we are seeing things differently, if you do...anyway, I'm going to bow out of this thread because I'm just really repeating the same thing...and I was only really giving my opinion on comments about Jim being 'bullied', which imo, he isn't...
