Bully
According to the Dictionary, a bully "is a person who is cruel to others especially those who are weaker or have less power". It is also "a noisy blustering fellow, more insolent than courageous; one who is threatening and quarrelsome". It also means " to intimidate; to act aggressively ".
While bullying as a verb " persistent acts intended to make life unpleasant for another person".
Some people can relate to this. At a point in our lives, there have been this seemingly bigger person that surprisingly derives pleasure in making us squirm or just get scared for a little bit, you'd almost want to wet your pants, seriously.
As a child, I was a people pleaser, and wanted to make everyone happy with me, parents, elder& younger siblings, friends, basically everyone. And if they did, I would get sad, and mope around until the person had forgiven me, and was playing with me. This was an open advantage for a few of my friends. While I was not a small kid, quite tall, not tiny, you'd think I could not be a victim, but, oh boy, was I the perfect candidate.
There was this friend that used that weakness against me, and would feign annoyance, and because I hated it, I would do funny things to get in her good side. I laugh at those things now. She stopped when we were older though.
Bullying is not just picking on a smaller person, laughing and teasing, it gets more detailed.
Point is , when your actions, intentionally is aimed at someone to make him/her uncomfortable, that's a big deal.
Most people find it hilarious and satisfying, but looking away from the sick part of the fun, you're hurting someone, putting him/ her under some sort of trauma. Not everyone can overlook this actions and be normal. Some of these people get into depression, self doubt, withdrawal, loneliness, and other negative traits.
Malice is bully, teasing and taunting is bully. You intentionally neglect that person in your clique and laugh and gist with the others while the person is watching, that is bully. Not satisfied with the traits of a friend, correct or tell the person you're no longer interested in being friends, that's better off than bully. That's being the bigger person.
Bully isn't maturity or fun, portrays pettiness.
A once jovial person turned depressed is one step away from a suicide mission.
