Energybending isn't a skill to just be passed around to anyone, even if that certain someone is the son of the Avatar. Energybending is a sacred form and can be very dangerous, not just for the one who is getting their bending stripped away, but for the user as well.

I highly doubt that Aang said "Oh, you're being teased? Come here, son! I shall teach you the most powerful form of bending so you will no longer feel left out!"

Eh, no. Very unlikely. That would have been very irresponsible on Aang's part if he did do that.

You said that just because Amon says his parents were killed by a Firebender doesn't necessarily mean it's true. Yes, you have a slight point, but the proof is on Amon's face. Sure, we haven't seen his face, so it technically isn't official yet, but I doubt that Amon would need to hide his face from the public if he didn't need to. Amon has proved to be a very evasive and skillful fighter. He also has A LOT of people backing him up. People knowing his true identity wouldn't have really been an issue for him.

Also, Bumi and Amon's skin tones aren't even the same. Bumi is clearly Katara's skin complection and while we have yet to see Amon face, his hands are exposed. His skin tone is a lot paler than Bumi's.

The whole "Bumi might be Amon" theory needs to be debunked. It is very unlikely that this is true.
