I’m a former middle school principal and I hate and avoided the word “Bully” and “Bullying”. It is one of those words that is insanely overused and thrown around. In most cases, kids engage in relational aggression and then one kid takes it too far (intentionally or not) or can “dish it out” but can’t take it. There are some cases where kids will single out the “weird kid” but that is far more rare than relational aggression and much easier to identify and punish. The parents of the those aggressors usually are mortified by their own kid’s behavior unless that kid is being raised by sociopaths.
