Izzy, 

 When you put it that way:

 "You are entitled to a life in which everyone is always nice to you. If people repeatedly treat you badly, please don't think it has anything to do with you or your behavior. If you feel bad, it is because of them, not you. Nor is it your responsibility to do anything to make them treat you better. Just tell the authorities, and the authorities will punish and rehabilitate the people who are being mean to you."

 It makes much of the bullying legislation we're seeing become law, sound ridiculous.

 When we advocate for laws against bullying, we declare the failure of psychology to solve the problem. The "Perfect" anti-bullying law?
