Bullying takes different forms as you get older.
When you are young you get the shit kicked out of you in the playground, or you get laughed at by the class for having the wrong trainers on or something pathetic.
When you get older you could have a boss who finds things to pick on out of personal distaste, or work colleagues whispering behind your back and making you feel uncomfortable. This is sometimes harder as the old 'give him a smack, he will soon back off' mantra doesn't work, and could get you in trouble with the law. people are felt even more helpless than then when they were a kid
I loathe nothing more than a bully.
Bullying is people that just try to make other peoples life's as miserable as they can and they get there jollies off on it too, bullying can be all sorts of things like taking advantage of somebody and getting them to do something and then intimidating them, name calling is the worst form of bullying and insults at least a few cuts and bruises will heal but name calling and insults kinda stay deep inside you, they just are there to make your life suck!! its really easy to say ignore people when there not nice but its not that easy as so much tormenting and name calling and insults and been made fun off cuts a bit of your soul away and you end up in a very dark place and alone and isolated! fuck the bullies tho they obviously have had a very shitty life that they love tormenting other people to feel bigger just cause they cannot cope with there anger any other way they aim at the vulnerable people
bullying is so sad and in some extreme cases people feel so intimidated and alone that they take there own life! my motto in life now is if your bullied don't let them get on top of you and bite back twice as hard cause most bullies are just big cowards when they are confronted!
anyway everybody stay safe and have a lovely peaceful day remember it does not cost anything to smile

I would define bullying as simply taking advantage of others.
Bullying is behaviour of a physical or emotional nature which makes another feel threatened/excluded and/or inferior. To be classified as "bullying", the behaviour must be 1. intentional (carried out to make another feel threatened etc as above and 2. the behaviour must be repeated.
