why do people have to be bullies

[mrisha]

They are bullies because they are insecure and low self-esteem.  Also because they are plain mean and want what other people have.

Usually bullies are a result of bad parenting or the failed education system in this country.

bullies are people who usually were not brought up in good homes  or have nothing else to do but make other people miserable.

Too complex a question for an easy answer... it is a mix of genes and environment.

People don't have to be bullies.  They choose to be bullies.  They can also choose to stop being bullies.  I know that sounds too simple, but--the only way I know to change your behavior is to choose to do so, somehow, some way.

Bullies feel empowered by picking on someone they deem weaker because they feel they have no control in an unfortunate situation that is most likely happening to them.

Bullying is a reflection on society today.  The breakdown of the family has a lot to do with it.  It is sad!

I can't stand bullying in any form. If I saw bullying, I would have to step in and say something. If I'm honest, I was bullied a bit at school and I turned into a bit of a bully until my sister stopped me, I'm so glad she pointed me in the right direction. She threatened to tell my mum if I didn't stop! Now, I see all the wrong that is with bullying. I am opinionated now and will not tolerate bullying, even if I don't know any of the participants.

Some people are just plain mean and they think it makes them important.

I hate bullies i think they should be a shame of themselves.  Nobody should have to live like that

I'm glad you said bullying of any form because often times adults are bullies too and don't even realize it. When we think bully we think the mean kid on the playground that pushes the smaller kid but bullying definitely comes in more forms.

it always been like that. I think who ever bullies someone else  is a very unhappy with themselves. And the bullies get this from someone that raised them and that they think that its okay to do the same thing to a weaker person and its not fair that the person that is being bullied. just remember that one day that they are going to have kids one day and they're kids would probably indoor the humiliation of being bullied
