I think the word "bullying" has become overused. When I was growing up it would mean hitting someone or threatening to do so unless they gave their lunch money. Now it has been redefined to include "shunning". It is not possible to come up with an objective definition of "annoying". If a few kids in the OP's son's class find him annoying, how can they be proven wrong? If some children don't want to play with my kid, I'd tell him to play with other kids.
