Of course, there were *also* attempts at deflection on the part of all the faculty I ever had to deal with (I went to a few different schools when I was very young):

"It's not 'bullying', it's just teasing. Calling it bullying if they don't hit you is not allowed."

...followed up with, "If they're teasing you, that must mean they like you! 😀 " (I had to learn the word "malicious" in second grade to stop that one.)
