Isk if someone is picking on them it is fucked up, it is not like you grow into an adult and magically don't care about what people think.... what if an old homeless lady is getting teased by a group of teenagers because of the way she looks and smells?
It seems to me you want some kind of pass for bullying, that shit is not cool, just say it is bad and move on, no need to compare it to something more extreme.
