"Can we leave Valdez in Croatia?" That was a little bit rude but even the best friends say that all the time. Take me and my best friend William for example, we always say things to each other like that. It's just meant to be a joke, not taken literally. But then again, Leo has been rude to Frank. "I understand not being as worthy as Percy or Jason but at least I should be worth two or three Franks."

"Hey,"Frank complained.

Well I know that is a joke but Frank took it seriously and it really hit him bad. However, Leo always makes jokes like that especially when the person makes him feel quite nervous. "You know," Annabeth said, "Leo doesn't intend to be mean. He's just got a big mouth. When people make him nervous, he uses humor as a defense." @Ea225225: Rumour spreading is almost exactly what you said. It is when you spread untrue stories of a person with other people just to ruin the person's reputation. Leo never did that to Frank but he was slightly abusive to him at times. @Oceanhalo12: What you said is true. Bullying isn't always when you hurt others feelings or physically harm them. @Ea225225: Ever heard of social bullying? It happens without the victim knowing sometimes but it's still bullying.

Anyways, how did we get to this? Back on topic. Wow, so people do that the all time, huh? Dude, just because people does it all the time, does it make it any better. Everyone gets in trouble but does it make it any better? No. And just because Frank took it badly doesn't always mean the "insult" was bad. But in this case, the insult is rude anyway. But as I went through the book he didn't exactly say anything false about Frank. But still bullies intend to be mean, but Leo does. Social bullying, yeah I heard of it, but that's not what it means. Social bullying is when you spread rumors, and purposely leaving someone out of the group.
