Isn't is weird to live in a world where words, the product of a thinking mind, are used to attack a thinking mind?
She might be struggling with the underlying irrationality of it.
Many humans are not rational nor do they seek to comprehend the world around them. Nor do they succeed by open cooperation of those why come in contact with.
Instead, they seek to provoke emotional responses in others and use that emotional response to get the things they want. Verbal bullying by younger kids is part of learning how to provoke that response - but they have not necessarily learned to use it yet.
One cannot assume that others hold to the same moral precepts as oneself. But, one often does subconsciously, and this leads to blaming oneself, rather than just realizing the bully is a jerk.
She just needs to build her friends and totally diss anyone who bullies her. The cold shoulder does wonders.
