Absolutely. In the big wide world, you are likely to meet a variety of people, some are going to be nice and friendly, others indifferent, there will also be people who are negative and unpleasant to be around but then you have those who engage in bullying. I made a distinction between people that a person may find unpleasent, negative in comparison to a bully. Because you could have a falling out between two people or those two people disagree about something, etc but that doesn't make either one of them a bully.
Anyways I very much doubt bullying will go away for good.
