Bullying is a form of aggressive behavior manifested by the use of force or coercion to affect others, particularly when the behavior is habitual and involves an imbalance of power. It can include verbal harassment, physical assault or coercion and may be directed repeatedly towards particular victims, perhaps on grounds of race, religion, gender, sexuality, or ability.^[2][3] The "imbalance of power" may be social power and/or physical power. The victim of bullying is sometimes referred to as a "target".

Bullying consists of three basic types of abuse – emotional, verbal, and physical. It typically involves subtle methods of coercion such as intimidation. Bullying can be defined in many different ways.

Should Christians engage in bullying?  What should a Christian do when they witness bullying?

So define it.  You do realize the law has trouble with that, don't you?

Define it first, and then they can tell you.  One man's "bullying" is another's "assertiveness."

I've noticed it is typically the Atheist who do the bullying. 

Watch them try to bully the ten commandments out of site.

Watch them try to bully  away a manger scene.

Watch the try to bully "in God we trust" off of our currenct.

Watch them bully unborn children.

Watch them bully away the cross from many locations.

...the list goes on and on and on.  Athiest are bullies.  Their enough to make one sick.

I did define it.  First thing. Re-read the OP.

This?

"is a form of aggressive behavior manifested by the use of force or coercion to affect others, particularly when the behavior is habitual and involves an imbalance of power. "

So would a father threatening his son frequently that he "won't have use of the car unless "x" meet your definition of "bullying"?

Bullying is the "crisis du jour," which can handily be used to blame some groups -- particularly Christians/political conservatives -- for all the world's problems. 

(And I'm neither Christian or politically conservative. But that's what I've observed.)

My take on it -- as I have already stated on other boards -- is that bullying is symptomatic of the essentially flawed idea that we can throw kids together by the hundreds in huge, institutional schools, and not expect them to form a sub-cultures of cliques and "types" -- and sometimes vicously attack each other accordingly.
