Yes, I agree you have to look at your own school.
First, ask yourself: is there bullying in your school? (I can give you an example of my school: there wasn't)
Then ask youself: how can you know that there is? what have you seen? have you seen people crying, being beaten, being forced to do something they didn't want to?
