I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
Alise says saying anything hurtful is bullying. Well, yeah, only if you ignore the actual definition of bullying, but good job on understanding words and meanings.
I've been upset by this for a while, so I only have one more thing to say about Alise and Bec. Their words hurt a lot of people, as well as enraging them. Doesn't that, I don't know, make them bullies by their own definition?
