My Thoughts on Bullying

People most likely bully because they might want to interact with someone but don't how to without starting a conflict, maybe they just plain like to bully people, or they have bottled up anger. Bullying can be both verbal and physical. If a bully just likes to bully others then maybe that person just wants other to feel worse than he does in that moment. For all we know that person could've had family problems at home, such as: a death in the family, parent lost their job, a break up, etc. This person is feeling hostile and angry and needs to let it out so they might either insult someone or hurt someone or something physically. Under the situation of which he might just want to get closer to someone, the "bully" might just want an excuse to start a conversation which will most likely backfire and turn into an argument. The bully might want to interact with someone new but has no way to get the nerve to talk to you so he makes a "joke" that just fails miserably to make the person, they are trying to engage, laugh.
