When I think of persecution, I think of a group of people persecuting an individual. The Church persecuting Giordano Bruno. Or individuals persecuting a group. Ferdinand and Isabella persecuting Jews and Muslims.
Bullying just doesn't seem to rise to the level of persecution, but at some point I'm sure it does. I'm not sure at what point that happens.
