The ramifications of people bullying each other, in ways that are unlikely to be prosecutable as crimes, are explored. Bullying is the use of force, coercion, hurtful teasing or threat, to abuse, aggressively dominate or intimidate.

Notes:
This theme is typically used when the children treat each other badly. The theme is typically not used when adults use violence and the threat thereof. It may be used when adults act like children. As a rule of thumb, it applies when the actions referred to fall below the bar for what is likely to be considered a legally punishable offense in the context.

Examples:
In "The Toxic Avenger" (1984), the 98-pound weakling Melvin was picked on mercilessly by certain patrons of the fitness club where he worked as a mop boy.
