People see what they want to see and they don't like to openly think that the pretty, popular types aren't worthy of their popularity.
I was bullied by people who were supposed to be my friends, I mentioned being bullied to one of them a year or so later and she said that it wasn't bullying. Like being verbally abused and/or threatend every day for months isn't bullying. Being ostracised isn't bullying. Being physically attacked isn't bullying. I should have asked what her definition of bullying was if it didn't include any of these things, how far would it have to go before she'd admit it? broken limbs maybe?
