No the accusations of bullying are what's BS, different people cope with situations like this in different ways depending on how strong mentally a person they are. I don't feel like I could cope, I don't think someone like Ashleigh could cope either, but Jale seems perfectly strong minded enough to me so far to deal with it. If in the next few days it emerges she's getting upset by it and explicitly says she feels isolated and bullied then I'll retract all of this and agree that it's bullying. It isn't up to anyone else but the person themselves to determine whether they're being bullied or not. If you can deal with it it is just targeting and unnecessary nastiness, if it breaks you down it's bullying
