AHA! In answer to another question, someone has mentioned that the context might be soemthing to do with a band? Now why oh why couldn't you give us this VITAL information?!

So if that is the case, then 'bullied in' makes more sense: 'bullied into joining the band"

R+C suggests:

bully sb into doing sth  : contraindre qn par la menace à faire qch

However, I think the term here is probably being used rather more lightly, so a mighter tone might be more suitable. So perhaps more along the lines of 'pousser' or 'insister pour que...', or stronger again, 'obliger'.
Tony M Jul 5, 2017:
Context? Your sentence seems incomplete? Is there something missing at the beginning... or off the end? I could understand 'bullied in school', for example — but I've never seen 'bullied in' used as a separable verb before.
