Yes.

They bullied and they were bullied. You don't tend to hear about the bullying too much from their fangirls who loved them. Dylan mentioned somewhere intentionally running into people in his gym class, for example. They talked shit about people in the basement tapes, too. The Jen and Rachel comments for example. But do we classify that as bullying?

They both did . I think Eric was a bit more of a smart mouth and snarky and I think Dylan setvout to bully kids. But I think they had very different reasons for it. I think I have elaborated before. I think Eric just had an exterior of get the hell away from me. And I think Dylan was bullied and felt bad about himself so he projected that pain in other people. Just my 2 cents

I believe they were bullied and did the bullying possibly after a long time of encountering bullying. I think also when you start to feel garbage about yourself your project that onto other people. You want them to feel bad about themselves like you do.

Let's be honest here, they thought they were "scary" because they wore trench coats.

From the very start: Bullying begets Bullying it is all a vicious cycle.

I wouldn't really say it is bullying just saying bad stuff about someone compared to actually saying it to them.

Bullying is part of life, especially at school....

It doesn't have to be if people stood up for themselves.

Bullys almost always bully other people to make themselves feel better about getting bullied themselves.
As someone posted above, it is well documented that they both bullied some people to a certain extent.
Dylan scratching "fag" into someones locker is one of the more well known examples.

Although they had bad things to say about many people in the basement tapes, they seemed to not have the balls to say it to most of those peoples faces.
As far as we know that is.

Talking behind someone elses back can definately be bullying. Its Just not physical or verbal. But gossipping about someone behind their back, spreading rumours, yup that can in some cases be another type of bullying.

As I said before if only Eric and Dylan had the technology as they do now, they could've recorded everything on their I-Phones and shown everyone the kind of treatment they were put through.

Or, you know, get bullied over social media.

And probably get arrested after Eric makes an angry post about how he wants to blow someone's head off.
