Why is it that people who bully people bully people why?

Some people do not get the attention they wanted. Thus, they bully other people in order to get attention.

bully`s are people who like feeling good about hurting other people less able to look after themselves. and those people who blame the victims are really no better than them (the bully`s).

BULLYS AREN'T VICTIMS, bullys make victims.

Because there inadequate and inferior beings , who envy those that can cope with life or are cleverer than they are

I don"t know why somebody bullies another person, it has been going on for hundreds of years and even our politically correct brigade can"t come up with any reasonable answers. When I was at school there was one notorious bully in our year, he was a real pain in the backside. One day he was bullying a 1st year student [the bully was in the 5th year] It was as usual in front of a large crowd of boys. I went over and told him to stop, and he took a swing at me but missed. I thumped him as hard as I could in the stomach and as he bent forwards I hit him again on the nose. I was unaware at the time, but the Headmaster had witnessed these two blows and we were both taken to his office. After approx. 10 minutes his secretary told us we could go. I never heared another thing about the event. The bully was not at school for 1 week, but when he did return, he showed signs of two black eyes and a still swollen nose. He never bullied any other pupil after that event. Bullies are usually cowards who will only act in or for a crowd. Get them on their own and hurt them, problem solved. I must add that this bully was the same age as me but slightly heavier.

taking out their frustration on others is a release mechanism, especially at a young age when your emotions are more unstable.

They are basically people who have a very low self-esteem and are generally coward. They try to show (and persuade themselves) that they have kind of power by gathering in groups and bullying others.

It can be because they have been bullied themselves at one point, and feel the need to hit out at someone else. The bad emotion spreads in this way, of course, it's best to break the chain. At other times it can be jealousy, misunderstanding... or something can start out as a joke, and just get out of hand. It seems that people like to join in with bullying, because they don't want to be bullied themselves... or they just find it fun, or a way to relieve their own stress... What the victims have to understand is that they can always get help and stop the bullying- it's wrong to blame them if they can't handle it though, and if you see bullying you should try your best to stop it, surely. In the end it's doing neither side any good- sympathy for bullies? Not really, more like pity...
