Jale has been bullied, yes. Pauline started it and then a succession of other people took up the cause. Helen is good at it, she's done it before. As someone with previous experience of bullying, I have to say I recognise what's happening with a certain amount of horror.

I was disappointed to see someone say that Jale isn't being bullied because she "gives as good as she gets". Like, if you have a modicum of fight in you, people have free reign to treat you really badly because it doesn't look like it hurts you. I bet when I was at school there were people who said, she's not being bullied, she's not broken enough yet.
