Actions, reactions, behaviour from way back then, without a name.

In a previous blog, the songs "Every breath you take" from Police and "One way or another" from Blondie, we're mentioned in connection with stalking, which also brings to mind "Somebody's watching me" from Rockwell. I'm sure there're lots more songs from way back then, that are about stalking or mobbing.
Isn't it strange how even though stalking and mobbing existed way back then, we didn't have a name for such behaviour, yet such existed.
As child growing up in the 60's -80's, I remember being mobbed at school and even in my own family....being called different names or being excluded because my dad was an alcoholic and just about everyone knew it.
