Sometimes people don't even know they're bullying. People have to come out and say it's not cool and they don't appreciate it. More often than not they'll be taken aback because you were taking the hits with such good grace.
I used to bully a kid in high school. He usually ate lunch alone so I would sit with him and make fun of his political views. He would call me a communist.... I would call him a capitalist war monger and " mr. America boy". We still talk every now n then.
The day of graduation I hugged him and he said " why are you hugging me, you don't even like me". I said something like "nonsense, you're my favorite person to argue with ".
