Is there a generic term of "Bullying" and is it against the law?

Sometimes we have to revisit the elements of bullying.  There is still confusion on what exactly constitutes school bullying.  So let's go back to basics.

1.  Each "State" has their own definition of bullying.  Many states have their own anti bullying laws.  What is defined as bullying in Florida may be different in New Jersey. 
2.  Anti Bullying laws usually pertain to public schools and can be found embedded in the Education Statutes.  At least that is how it is in Florida.  Private schools may have their own anti bullying law but they are not under the guise of state law.
