How would they have bullied him? I was bullied online and never in actual school

Perhaps bullying was taking place in the bus (some think this is a possible reason he walked home at least once), in the school bathrooms, or outside on school grounds. Many kids are bullied in their schools or during breaks between classes.

If teachers see bullying happening in the classroom or hallway then they tell the kids to break it up. They intervene. Why didn't they for Andrew? Doesn't make sense.

I honestly think teachers often don't see it or don't realize what they're seeing. All it takes for a kid to start hating school is for a classmate there to keep saying something mean day after day.

Are you sure that's not just a movie trope? I've never witnessed anyone being bullied physically in school. Not shoved in lockers or punched or walked into.

I don't know how common physical bullying was at his school, but there were physical fights at my high school back in the day.
@submarine7 mentioned social exclusion, which is probably more likely and can feel like being bullied.
