It depends on your definition of being bullied. If you mean you are being physically threatened, then yes, you need to report the incident(s) to both your supervisor and HR. It doesn't matter how long you've been there or if you are still on probation, there are laws to protect you.
If you just feel that you are being given all the dirty work, are left out by your coworkers, or just feel that you aren't wanted there (without any outright harassment), then you can either live with it or find a new job. Complaining that others don't like you will only get you a reputation of being a complainer and will hurt you more in the long run.

as most of the people have said it doesn't make any difference if you've worked for the company for 1 week or 10 years bullying is illegal,
as for the other comments people have made i Quote
“Bullying or harassment may be by an individual against an individual (perhaps by someone in a position of authority such as a manager or supervisor) or involve groups of people. It may be obvious or it may be insidious. Whatever form it takes, it is unwarranted and unwelcome to the individual.”
i hope this helps

Be very careful in excercising your rights. Might be best to get another job on the grounds that it was not the job you thought it was. Do not mention bullying to your next employer

You probably do. Check with your state Department of Labor or Employmet. The fact of the matter is ...we have more rights then our employers lead us to believe. If you find that you do have a case, becareful.

Yes - as an employee you are covered by your company's 'Dignity at work'/'Anti-bullying' policies and should be able to take action through it/them.
If you are not a member of a union - join one. Your union rep should also be able to assist you.

Yes but be cautious on this one since you are still on probation. If you are seen as a trouble maker they could not keep you on.
