Everything is said in the title, but the author knows how to show that the nuance is sometimes so subtle that one crosses the border without even wanting to do harm…

Léonie is invited, like all the other pupils in CM1, to the birthday party of Estelle, who has just joined the class and who is already a great success; the next day, Estelle sends a photo of the party to thank the class for coming. The next day, Estelle sends a photo of the party to thank the class for coming. Very quickly, we notice that Léonie is not looking her best in this photo where we see her biting into a piece of cake. What starts out as innocent teasing soon turns into a nightmare. Estelle and other pupils make fun of Léonie on a daily basis, managing to spoil her lunch or even pinch her to the point of bruising her. Léonie tries to defuse the situation with her discreet attitude, but it only gets worse. Her friends, Louise, Emma and Oscar, decide that they must act. But it takes the intervention of a nurse and her guest, a young woman who has been bullied at school, to make Estelle and the others understand the seriousness of their actions.
