As a serial victim of bullying I can wholeheartedly say this article hits the nail on the head with respect to the dynamics of bullying.
Bullying is a stage play orchestrated by the bully, reserving the role of crazy unreasonable person for the victim. No bully is daft enough to punch a victim when the teacher is watching -- unless of course they can make it seem like the victim is the cause.
I've had one teacher respond to my bullying with "but you act so weird". This is of course the arbor on which bullying hinges. Most adults have enough sense to not say it out loud even if it is how they feel.
I'm glad to have found this article, it has allowed me to give behaviour of past bullies a place. It's rare to find media which does that. The only other example I have run into is the "to this day project" by Shane Koyczan[1] which I feel should be obligatory watching for everyone.
Kudos to the author.
