You hear of that in real life that girls can be jealous of girls that are pretty so try and make them feel they are ugly.

I was going to say, what has the way she looks got to do with her being bullied?

Bullies will use anything they can to upset the people they are bullying, they will call them ugly, stupid, whatever gets a reaction.

Do you think only ugly kids get picked on?

They are calling her ugly and she isn't even ugly! Would it make a difference if she was?

No idea Paulo, she is very pretty indeed, just never occurred to me to judge them on attractiveness.

It's jealousy - teenage girls are like that. They could call her fat when she's not, ugly when she's pretty, dumb when she gets all A*s at school, whatever way it doesn't matter if the insults are true just that she believes them when they're said all the time and they hurt her!

The whole idea that Bethany is being bullied is silly and ironic such a unbelievable story, Corrie are good at unbelievable stories, they should have a category at the awards for unbelievable stories Corrie would win it every time.

It is very true to life, plain girls get jealous of the pretty one's, so bully them into thinking they are ugly.

As I've said before the only problem I have with these bullys is the childish language they are using!! There would be expletives spat in amongst the insults to make it harsher & more realistic but as it's before the watershed it sadly can't be done!!

After last night though I'm really hoping that all this bullying storylines hasn't just been a means towards Bethany joining the gym &
Spoiler

That's about been the standard of Corrie in recent years!!

Maybe when the new producer gets going she will have the insight to see the benefits of distributing equal parts and storylines instead of the present method of mere cameo roles for the more than capable actors.

It is rather ironic that bunch of hideous chavs are bullying Bethany. Obvious jealousy. Half of them looked like Shrek!

My guess is that they are edging towards an anorexia SL.

I don't buy it either - it feels really shoe-horned in. Bethany is too strong a personality to be a victim of this type of bullying - all the 'just leave me alone' comments from her don't ring true, she would not be such easy pickings for a group of bullies - the script writers have just chosen for her sassiness to desert her.

I agree, Dave. The character of Bethany was brought in as a spoilt, nasty brat, who disrespects everyone. It is more likely that Bethant would be the bully.

LOL i was just about to post the same thing, her bullying Craig or Faye would have been a more believable idea.

Well that's how bullies or emotional abusers work don't they? Making people feel insecure and inferior.

I think the whole point of the storyline is to show that anyone can become a victim of bullying.

I actually think it is very common for pretty, possibly the prettiest girl to be bullied. As others have said, it stems from jealousy.

It's the same if a kid is very intelligent, particularly gifted at music - has any exceptional talent really - other kids will get jealous and find a way to use it against them.

I think she's changed a lot since then though - the experience with Callum changed her and made her much less gobby and sure of herself. He used her and taunted her, exposing her as a silly little girl who wasn't the hard, mature person she was making out and it has stayed with her.

Then she's had Sarah be off the planet (even before sectioning, Sheks not been right for months), a new brother born and finally her Mum breaking down. Sheks grown up and become more sensitive and vulnerable to attack.

I think the main bully is very pretty. Probably prettier than Bethany.
