I've been bullied a lot in my life and I've come to the realization that bullying doesn't happen because the person who is being bullied is bad, it's because the bully is insecure. Since my dad is the CEO of Alaska Public Media he is on TV a lot and kids made fun of me for that, they called my dad ugly and fat. My dad laughed when I told him about this and said, "It's probably because they're insecure about their dads! They think you are really cool because your dad gets to go on TV and their dad doesn't!" When my dad said this I never got sad or angry when somebody called me a name. And I have been physically bullied a lot as well. When you get physically bullied it can be because that kid gets hit by their parents and they need to get their anger out on someone else. They think it's normal to hit people and use it as a way to show dominance over another person. Physical bullying would not be about you being a bad person it is most likely that the bully feels that they must do it because they have been hit too.
