Emma's idea of bullying is probably things like having a bucket of dirty water poured on your head, mean insulting sentences carved into your school desk, being shoved into a locker, having your boss/co-worker dump his work on you forcing you to work overtime or being dragged along to a drinking party by your boss and forced to entertain with a demeaning dance or the like.
Basically modern day bullying and not aristocratic "splashing wine onto a dress by accident" (that helps advertise the quality of the silk and dress).
