Taunting is a game mechanic in Bully, and can be used by Jimmy to harass other characters. From a distance, the taunting object equals Jimmy insulting or challenging another character, and if close enough, Jimmy will shove them. He can also taunt authority figures. Taunting is a rule infraction, and will fill the trouble meter. Jimmy can taunt any student, however the tougher ones will usually taunt him back or will start a fight with him. The Nerds and Non-Clique Students are more likely to run away in fear.
