Treat bullying as assault? Talk about overkill.

I am happy they are taking bullying seriously but this isn't the right way to go about it.

So what defines bullying? He/she teased me? "body shaming" If you're fat and rolling around in WalMart on a cart you aren't doing yourself any good.

We could use a dictionary definition but for any law or school police they would need to define it better. Problem is bullying can cover a fairly wide range of activities and it isn't easy to define.

But however elusive, we can't deny that it does exist and profoundly affects a lot of people in real measurable ways.
