There is nothing one would not do for someone who is genuinely a friend.

The Hollister student handbook says “In accordance with state law, bullying is defined as intimidation, unwanted aggressive behavior, or harassment that is repetitive or is substantially likely to be repeated and causes a reasonable student to fear for his or her physical {...}” I agree with our definition because it covers all of points that it should cover.
