Why bullies do it
You’ve probably heard this lots of times, but jealousy is a main reason why people bully others. They might be jealous of the way you look or the clothes you wear, or it might not even be obvious things like that. Maybe you’re clever and get good marks, or you’ve got a loving family who care about you. Sometimes people bully because they feel inadequate compared to you and they want to make you feel miserable like they do.
Bullies may target people because they are different. This could be because of their sexuality, the way they talk, their race, their size or religion.
It makes them feel good about themselves. By bullying other people they feel powerful and they think this is how other people will see them. They think they look tough and will then be popular.
Some may do it for attention or to make people afraid of them.
