In GA this would be considered a "Simple Battery" a misdemeanor, and would require school documentation of the "bullying" and a police report.
This can be made with a Juvenile Complaint Form, and submitted to the local juvenile court for inquiry/trial.
Your Local PD or SO can facilitate this.

Bullying falls under harrassment and maybe assault or stalking, so yeah, it is. But it really depends to how far you take it. :) Why; are you getting bullied?

I would say no, because one would have to determine if the chest bump was done with any type of aggravation and intent to commit a battery. This chest bump would also have to be done to bring harm to the other person. Mens rea and Actus reus.
Yes, that would be a form of assault.

As Bullying is, among other things, the causing of unhappiness by verbal assault, and doing so from a position of strength, questioning integrity may be bullying. However, this becomes hard to separate from protocol in a more rigidi forum (like a courtroom), or even the simple, legitmate question of the existence of integrity.In summary, it may be bullying, but it depends on the method and circumstances.
