Bullying, in my opinion, is done with an intent to harm, whereas while to gang up on somebody is certainly used to intimidate, it may not always be with the intent to cause harm. For example, if you, your sister and your mom want pizza, but your dad wants hamburgers, you, your sister and your mom might "gang up" on your dad and convince him to change his mind.
