This the only time I believe we've ever disagreed Yorick

I was "only" bullied in school, but I've seen stories about kids who were truly terrorized.

Certainly terrorism on this level is much different, in scale and magnitude, than Osama Bin Laden's brand, but all of the following definitions from your posts can fit.

Terrorism:[/b] the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion

Systematic:

3 a : methodical in procedure or plan
3 b : marked by thoroughness and regularity

Terror:
1 : a state of intense fear

BTW, to coerce is:

1 : to restrain or dominate by force
2 : to compel to an act or choice

Sometimes when looking back at childhood we remember the good times, and it's hard to remember how cruel kids can be.
