So why do some people bully?
- Stress and Trauma.
Believe it or not according to Ditch the Label Study, bullies have experienced more stressful and traumatic situations than normal – meaning not bullies. Having an alcoholic father who beat them every time their father is drunk. Which is every day. Split-up of their parents. Have a dysfunctional family – instead of nurturing their children to grow-up as a productive and decent individual who contributes to the improvement of the community. Instead resort to the child’s disruptive and prohibitive development. Experiencing a harrowing and life-threatening event – being mugged or becoming a victim of a hold-up. Some individual react differently to different situations. Some people – those who are emotionally strong and receiving so much love at home – manage and remain unscarred. Others resort to negative behaviors, resorting to violent acts as a form of defense, belligerency and bullying. Persons who becomes bullies resort to bullying as a form of revenge or getting back to people who subject them to experience a traumatic and stressful situation. Often the target of revenge by bullies are innocent victims.
- Violent and Aggressive behavior learned from childhood based on mythical image of a man. Macho Personality. Boys from childhood were taught early in life not to cry or show emotion. That real mean should fight back or take revenge from any slight receive from other boys. Macho image also means showing aggression and terrorizing other boys to inflate their ego, and boost their self-confidence. Macho image also give the wrong impression that all problems can be solve by violence. John Wayne syndrome. Like the ugliest president of the never-developing country in the Pacific, who strongly believe that killing people will solve the drug problem and spark the economy.
- Lack of self-confidence and low self-esteem.
Bullies boost their confidence and inflate their ego by bullying people who cannot fight back. It is there only way of showing that they are better than others. But bullies are really cowards who won’t stand up or fight people who are tougher than them.
- Loneliness.
Believe it or not according to mental health professionals bullies are lonely people. They are looking for steady relationship. They joined gangs and fraternities to have a sense of belonging. They become bullies to prove to their gang that they deserve to be a lifelong member because of their toughness. Bullies also wants to impress girls by showing how tough they are. Because they are incapable of impressing girls with their brains and talents. What bullies really want is to belong and to feel loved because they are not getting enough love at home. Jesus, Mary and Joseph Virginia! I get clobbered by bullies because all they want is to find love and find a place where they belong and feel wanted.
