First, "human nature" is a logical fallacy straight away: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalistic_fallacy

Second, in many existing societies outside of the US school bullying is extremely uncommon.

The Naturalistic fallacy is

  if something is 'natural' it must be good/desirable
I don't see that op said or implied that this was the case; They said something was 'human nature' (i.e. natural) ass opposed to the result of the school system. This doesn't imply that it is therefore desirable, but rather, that it is undesirable but not the result of the school system.

How exactly would you prove that school bullying is uncommon in schools? I highly doubt your second point is true. If you have some research it would be much appreciated.
