He always talked about being god fearing, but he bullied others. How mean!


What is the meaning of `bullied', and `How mean!' here?

If you bully someone, you attack them physically or verbally to make them unhappy, especially when you are stronger, more powerful, etc. 'How mean' = how unpleasant/unfair

To bully means to frighten people who are weaker.
