If Cordelia reminds OP of a bully, then it doesn't really matter if she was one or not. It's totally valid to not like a fictional character for reminding you of something bad.

But. Early season Cordelia isn't even supposed to be a bully. She's supposed to be a shallow popular girl stereotype set up to directly parallel what Buffy's life could have been like without the Slayer bits. Most of the social conflict between Buffy and Cordelia is a direct result of Buffy's old life crashing and burning against her Slayer life.

And keep in mind that Buffy's not a social pariah because of Cordelia. She's a transfer student who was expelled from her old school for mysterious reasons involving fire and death and she's frequently involved in the super sketchy, violent weirdness going on in town. From an outsider's view, a lot of people who hang around Buffy wind up dead or missing. She was never going to be one of the cool kids.
