I believe it has something to do with bullying. Also, I think I heard it as a
verb: やさぐれる I can't seem to find much information about it. Is it slang?

question
words meaning slang
What does やさぐれ mean?
It seems that most Japanese-to-English dictionaries have an entry for this
(e.g., JMDict: <http://tangorin.com/general/yasagure>), and I'm not sure I can
elaborate much more than what's on there:

> noun:
>
>   1. running away from home —Slang.
>   2. runaway (child)
>

If you're interested in the etymology, I recommend checking out [the gogen-
allguide entry for やさぐれる](http://gogen-allguide.com/ya/yasagureru.html).
