Long time ago, I found a good word about bullying. It is not ĉagreni because it is longer, but it is not turmenti because it is milder. I would like to find the word and to adapt it to mean "school bullying", and then adapt it again to mean "school bully".

I think the best way to capture “to bully” is the verb ĉikan·i. PIV defines it as:
Intence fari al iu maljustajn ĝenojn, malagrablaĵojn, malhelpojn, por sentigi al li/ŝi sian superecon.
So “a bully” would be ĉikan·ant·o, if it's a person who was bullying in a moment we're talking about, or ĉikan·ul·o, if it's a person who often bullies other people. The noun “bullying” would be ĉikan·ad·o, which is the translation used in the Esperanto Wikipedia.

That's just one of several definitions in PIV. Wells glosses it as "to quibble." The definition you cite seems more like hazing than bullying. Jan 3, 2017 at 1:52

Wells and Benson (CEED) - both dictionaries worth having in your library - list tirani for "to bully." Wells also has brutali.
From PIV (vortaro.net):
- brutal/o. Krudaĉa, perfortema, kruela homo
- tiran/o. [...] Ordonema k senindulga mastro
