The Great Gilly Hopkins by Katherine Paterson is about a girl in foster care that did not trust others and acted out by resorting to bullying. She did not allow anyone to get close to her until a few characters from the story preserved and gained her trust through love; this convinced her to trust people and stop bullying. This would be a great story to teach a lesson on bullying and to not give up on someone.
