Thread Topic: Why do people bully?

..a person has no self confidence in themselves whatsoever, so they feel they have the need to pick on somebody else to make them feel stronger, more superior and as if they have so much power. It may also be because somebody else seems to be doing it, and it's somebody who has a whole lot of friends. So, whoever witnesses it either leaves it alone or copies it because they want to be noticed themselves so they can gain more peoples' respect. Just so they gain more friends to let go of their own low self esteem, often turning into a different person and/or ditching their true best friends to be with the popular people.
Most of the time, people who do this is often somebody who was picked on themselves or was a nobody and wasn't noticed by anybody at all during their educational partial of their lives, meaning, when they were students in school. And now they feel the need to bully other people just to get revenge on who picked on them, gaining more popularity then their bullies and "showing them who's the boss".
..When really, they could have handled it in a different solution. Telling a trusted adult would be the best way, so that they can handle it and not you. That would make the situation a whole lot worse. And if the adult doesn't listen, speak up until they do or try to tell another adult you trust.
Who else besides myself has been bullied before? Yes, it's true. I've been bullied in school and at home. Which you may not think because of my happy-go-lucky attitude, but you can't always judge a book by it's cover.
Speaking of judging a book by it's cover, doing that--judging somebody because of their looks--is not the best way to make a friend. I know a couple of boys in my class who always try to snag the prettiest girls to be their girlfriends--right until they find an even prettier girl then and they all just dump their girlfriends right there on the spot.
Same with girls. Some girls like personality better, but others think abs, biceps and facial appearance are most important when it comes to finding a boyfriend. Well, you're wrong!
*BUZZ*
Yes, some boys may be "dreamy", but it's what's inside that counts. If some boy tries to take up all of his free time to try and do something for you, and he finally works up the courage to do it for you and finally asks you out, you shouldn't reject him right there and then. Try giving him a chance. Maybe he's not as good looking as you wished he would be, but his personality says that he's a good person. Gender switch, a girl does something for a boy and asks him out, don't reject her then! Give her a chance!
And now we've covered verbal and physical bullying. But what about cyber bullying?
Yup! It's a thing, to cyber bully means to bully somebody while you're online. Say, here's an example--Facebook. You make a clever status and you think it's snazzy! But some stuck-up girl who happens to be the prettiest girl in your school--let's call her Rachel, decides to insult.
(Bear with me here--I'm going to make a virtual conversational dialogue.)
Rachel: "HA!!! that's leik sooo corny! where'd you get that from, albert einstein!?"
You: "uhm... :("
Rachel: "did i ask you to speak?"
Rachel: "god, your dumb."
You: "what do you want?"
Rachel: "to tell you that you are a loser and that your super ugly! you're such a little crybaby!"
Rachel: "bye then fugly!"
This is an example of cyber bullying. We may often get rageful because we don't really know who's out there and who's trying to be mean to us. So we say an insult back and then a flame war starts.
A flame war is a cyber argument that gets so bad, other people are bothered by it. Insults and curse words are tossed all over the place. The most likely place you would see a flame war is on the forums at a website, and may even social network sites (such as Facebook like I mentioned).
But, let's all take a deep breath. Since you don't know who may be out there, you're okay. It's not like they know where you live and they're going to your house just to punch you in the face--or something..but, since you don't know the person, you can just laugh at them because they are acting like immature trolls.
A troll is somebody who creates a fake account (or may even be their real one) just to spam, start flame wars, and be mean to other people. The best way to handle these people is by simply reporting them if you see any report button nearby.
But, whoever, or whatever may be out there, if you don't take it to far, just remind yourself that you are safe in your home.
There also may be other types of bullying out there in the world. But the main three are verbal bullying (meaning to insult, argue, etc.), physical bullying, (meaning to hit, kick, etc.), and cyber bullying (to bully online, or virtually).
But, to often avoid being bullied, be nice to somebody and they'll be nice back. It's that simple.
Just remember not to bully and the Earth keeps getting better! -
Or maybe they're just asking for a trip to Room 101.

Maybe so.
