Are you in the US or Europe? I’ve heard the term mobbing used in Germany but never the US. In the US bullying would apply to both adults and children.

I have never heard the word "mobbing" in the UK.

Italy. We specifically use the English word mobbing but we have a translation for bullying (bullismo).
