What one person considers abuse is not necessarily equivalent with what another person considers abuse. For example, one person may equate a light, mere punch on the arm abuse, while another sees it as being a playful gesture.

Some people do not realize when "play" or "teaching a lesson" truly becomes abuse, however, and therein lies the problem. Physical fighting is abuse and extreme, horrid name-calling is abuse as well. Sadly, there are no specific guidelines for defining abuse.
