I believe the answer is:

omitted

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'being forgotten' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'oscar and tim upset with bundy' is the wordplay.
'oscar' becomes 'O' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'upset' is a reversal indicator.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'bundy' becomes 'ted' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'tim' written backwards gives 'mit'.
'o'+'mit'+'ted'='OMITTED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for omitted that I've seen before include "Excluded" , "Cardigan boy" , "Disregarded" , "Musical aptitude" , "Left out, probably forgot" .)
