My take on why people bully and some of mine

[Project Delta]

The people that dont get bullied are the people that follow trends and are 'cool', these are the people who are scared of people who dont follow trends because they are different and a threat to their unity, and therefore they resort to trying to get rid of these people subconsciously by bullying, i am one of the only people in my year with long hair, in an all boys school, and i couldnt care less, i also wear workers boots to school, since it sets me apart from them even more, we also have uniform so we look pretty much the same.
i am a loner to be totally honest, and i listen to emo screamo music, but i dont care how other people see me, iits just i care what they say about me
Thats my thoughts
Please leave comments, feedback will be appreciated :)

Completely agree with what you said, I too think that the reason as to why most people bully is because they won't accept variation in other people. Just goes to show how low they are.

From someone that's also been bullied myself. I think it honestly depends on the bully/group of bullies.

Some people bully because they dislike people who aren't like them, whilst others bully in an attempt to look cool and strong, others simply bully because they know they can get away with it.

I also know, from two friends of mine that were bullied, that were bullied simply because of the way they react. My old friend Tom was easy to piss off, so he'd end up attacking people, and my friend Celsey - some dude used to take pics of her and show them to her just to piss her off. She suffers from low self-esteem/self-hate. So she'd easy get pissed off about it.

Like any form of abuse, it is important to let authorities know what is going on, im sure your teachers will be happy to know, and will do what they can about this situation.

imo, the most important thing, is that in amongst the 'going against the trend', you dont become so wrapped up in being different, that you lose who you really are. always be who you are. but...that is just me :)

The only reason people bully others is that their different and kicking somebody smaller around ( while having 5 friends to back you up ) is a sure thing to boost a little pricks confidence

i totally agree with all of you, i was on the bus and one of the weakest and quietest was being picked on which later turned into sort of abuse as their bag was taken and hidden, leaving them to try and find out where it was, although i didnt join i felt really bad about doing nothing and then i got depressed remembering some of the things that happened to me.
Next time i am determined to help him out as he is an alright guy (although a bit weird at times in an annoying way) but he doesnt deserve to be treated this way, although the people that bully deserve to be bullied!

Cheers for the feedback guys :)

There are multiple forms of bullying and multiple reasons for bullying. Some include raising confidence but one which I haven't seen mentioned yet, is the bully being bullied before either by others or at home, or both, and so it's what they've known for the majority of their lives. There are of course other reasons also.
