Halo and Ea, you are both right. However, one is more right, whixh will be revealed at the end of this post.

Annabeth's deeds were not worse than Leo's. In fact, they only appeared worse. Both Annabeth and Leo had a fear that guided their actions towards these people.

Annabeth was at the time quite hard-in-love with Percy. And Rachel getting in the way for what was to Annabeth a possibility was quite less than appreciated. Hence the saltiness. Hence the rudeness.

As for Tyson, we see that Annabeth has had a bad encounter with Cyclops, so even though Tyson is her beloved Percy's brother, she isn't quite prepared to warm to him just yet. However, by the battle of the labyrinth, she calls upon Grover, Percy and Tyson to go on her quest. If this is not any indication that she has warmed to him, check this out from SoN-

''Annabeth's heart warmed to see Tyson with his SPQR bib and the harpy. She'd had some bad experiences with Cyclopes, but Tyson was a sweetheart, plus he was Percy's half-brother which made him alost like family. ''

Leo is also scared of...well, Frank. So he razzes him pretty hard because he is intimidated by this Dragon turning, muscular, powerful, son of the War God who Hazel, a girl Leo's got his eye on, likes and is actually dating.

So Halo is slightly more right. But there really is one thing that topples it. . . Annabeth intended to hurt them, Leo really didn't. Annabeth even said so herself that Leo didn't intend to be mean. Yes, insecurity played a part in it, but not as big as you guys exaggerate it to be, because how come Leo doesn't tease Annabeth and Percy like that? Leo is scared of them, too!

Also, guys the whole Leo being into Hazel is a reason of Leo supposedly "bullying" Frank, is not true. There was this part in Mark of Athena, where Leo was riding behind Hazel on Arion, and Leo remembered that Hazel was Frank's girlfriend and that he should keep his distance. See guys, maybe Leo might be a little smitten with Hazel, but he still respected their relationship, even when Frank wasn't there. Leo even sincerely said so himself TO Frank that he never meant to get on with his girl.

Leo was just being oblivious, and because he's better at interacting with machines than actual people, Leo can also be extremely insensitive. That's all he has ever done. Because of Frank's appearance, Leo never knew Frank was sensitive, and if he really did know, Leo would have stopped or at least lessen it.
