bullying
Let an agent explain bullying and its forms in neutral terms, relay research on prevalence, effects and prevention from academic and public health sources, describe policies and support, and route people experiencing or witnessing bullying, especially where there is risk of harm, to support services and authorities.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
