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 :)

Yeah... We had a seminar on the subject of dealing with bullies at the karate dojo last night, and it was explained that bullying is a range of behaviors, physical violence being an end of that range.

Judging by how compelling Sophia found the subject, it's apparent that she's gotten picked on a lot, poor kid...
