There is a time to go to an adult. There is a line between bullying and harassment. That is part of the teaching that had to be done. If someone says something mean to you from time to time you learn to ignore them. If they follow you around and harass you every waking minute the kid needs assistance in dealing with the issue. Think of it in adult terms if someone on the street says something mean you keep walkin let it go, if they follow you everywhere you go and get aggressive you may call for police.
The key is to explain why one requires assistance and the other should attempt to be handled on their own first.
