Why do people bully?

Two basic reasons: They have a deep, troubling need stemming from their experiences of being picked on or feeling unsuccessful in life. They try to make themselves feel better by picking on someone else. They succumb to the temptation of believing that bullying is a socially acceptable behavior among their peers. Too often, a bully's behavior is encouraged and not stopped. Failing to report bullying encourages it.
