I gave an example zuzu
oh yeah, i saw. sorry i forgot to add the second part im tired. i was gonna say i feel like in this case its not, because the student was acting rude first to get that treatment back. but also simply ignoring someone for no good reason, shitting on that person to the extent where others start to avoid them because of false rumors definitely becomes bullying.
context always matters 
context matters in every situation - ie there's two sides to each situation
determining who is right or wrong is often the hardest judgment which is why judges are suppose to be one of the most difficult professions
if we start with the premises that a person has absolutely not need to like any other person for whatever reason and has every right to ignore or not communicate with another person
then does that situation change if we add school or work to it...
in both situations I would say that if you gave it a try and tried one's best to work with such a person and it didn't work out because of whatever reason then it didn't work out and one can inform the teachers/boss to let them why it didn't and hopefully each person moves on
Recently I have seen the argument that ignoring people could also be accounted as bullying.
Absolutely not. Now keeping ones mental peace is bullying others?lol
I don't think it is. If there are people online I actively dislike, even so far as to say I hate them, I will avoid them. It's better for both of us that way. Typically, I only dislike someone if they did something super bad, so they have a chance to grow and become a better person, while I have a chance to cool down. Otherwise, I could say something very mean to them (and 100% mean it in the moment), which would then get them mad and start a two-way fight that we would both get in trouble for.
If a person I disliked tried to reach out to me, how it would go would depend on a variety of factors:
1) Am I in a good mood, an okay mood, or an outright bad mood?
2) Why was I mad at them? How long was I mad at them for? Am I still mad at them? To what degree?
3) What is their reason for reaching out to me? To be mean to me yet again? To sincerely apologize? Something else entirely?
4) Do I think making things right will be worth it in any aspect?
5) Do they know I dislike them or not? In most cases, if it's really, really bad, they'll 100% know, but if it's more that they mildly annoy me, they may never know.
Obviously it's not ideal, and in a perfect world, I'd never have to do it, but you can't make everyone happy I suppose. It's better to actively ignore them than to lash out at them.
well some people firmly believe in official capacities, such as school or work, you should not ignore anyone for any reason even it you dislike them. Ignoring a person even if you have a good reason, such as their rude behavior, still negatively effects their performance as a student or employee. Their opportunities will be diminished even if they are good at their job or studies.
this. got ignored the first couple weeks at work and it made me borderline suicidal. it's much better now and they're like family but hoo man that was fucking rough.
