Scenario During lunch period a girl is making her way through the lunch line when a

classmate approaches to ask her if they can cut in front of her place in line. The girl replies no, reasoning that it isn’t fair to the people behind her. Annoyed, her classmate shoves her forcefully and takes her place in the line.

Is this bullying? What should the girl do who got shoved to the ground?
