What is the definition of "bullying" in public schools? Does it include saying mean things, or does there have to be actual physical violence involved for it to qualify as "bullying"? If merely saying mean things doesn't qualify as bullying, then what the hell is "cyber-bullying"? I mean, there isn't an IP protocol for hitting people over the Internet, is there? (If so, please quote me the RFC, thanks :)
