It contains a comma splice.

Explanation:

Both comma splice and fused sentence are writing errors that occur when we try to join two independent clauses (it has a subject and a verb and presents a complete thought)

Fused sentence occurs when we join two independent clauses without any punctuation (I love books my favorite book is The Catcher in the Rye).

Comma splice occurs when we join two independent clauses with a comma, like in the given sentence. To fix this error, we can: put a semicolon (No one likes a bully; He has no friends.) or a period between these two sentences (No one likes a bully. He has no friends.) or add a conjunction (No one likes a bully so he has no friends.)
