You can’t bully someone who is in a position of power and authority over you.
Speaking truth (or just being insulting) to power ≠ bullying

You definitely can, which is why I’m not a fan of the word bullying as it conveys a stronger larger person abusing a smaller weaker person. Students can bully teachers, employees can bully managers, etc.

Then those teachers, managers have lost their power and authority. Surely?
The stronger abusing the weaker is the accepted use of the word, isn’t it?
