What is bullying???

Would a 50 year old woman in the shadow of her doorway mimicking a 14 year old who has slight problems, be defined as bullying???

And the womans 22 year old son being sent out to verbally abuse said 14 year old and I mean nasty verbal abuse , is that bullying???

"Usually bullying takes place amoung kids of the same age or a little older."

^ WTF??? ANYONE can be a bully. If someone is doing something to you that makes you feel bad or humiliated or embarrased and you want them to stop THAT'S a bully.

I laughed at the bit in your story about the 22 year old. He must be a loser if he lives with his mommy and get's his kicks out of taunting someone who is 8 years younger than him, and sortof handicapped.

But just remember: he's 22 and as i said still living with his parents, so where do you think he'll be in 20 years? Bagging groceries at the local supermarket. You on the other had are still in middle school. You could go on to get a ph.d and go on to make ground breaking discoveries that could advance medical technology!

So whenever you pass by them, just think of how great you could become if you don't get into drugs or heavy drinking because of peer pressure. Keep your studies up and do well. And maybe, go back years later and find them and rub it in their face!

short answer.....Yes.

It sure could be. Usually bullying takes place amoung kids of the same age or a little older. I think you understand it is verbal and emotional abuse. It is really mean talk to your parents about it and perhaps they can get them to back off.
