LAdy P; I figured they bully because they have to make themselfves seem superior. (My other theory is they do it because they're wankers)They didbn't need a reason in your case nor did they in mine. I suspect in my case had my father not died and I had stayed where I was in Ohio, that the bullying would have continued. They actually were quite brazen about it until I was maneuvered into a fight and won it. A pox on all bullies. may they rot in their own filth and so the administrators who do nothing to stop them!
