Can you give a restring order to some one for bullying?

Bullying is legally considered a form of harassment. The thing about restraining orders (at least where I live,) is that you must press charges for harassment first, and then once you have pressed charges for harassment you may file for a restraining order. I don't know where you are from, and I'm not a lawyer so I'm not 100% sure about the laws on this, but I have been told that is how it works in my state. In short- yes, you can get a restraining order against someone who is bullying you, as long as you can prove that they have continued to bully/harass you even after you have asked/told them to stop.
