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.
