Why Do People Bully?

It’s hard to know why people bully because we are all different. A bully might be having problems themselves. Some bullys have been bullied themselves in the past and are scared of being rejected and losing their friends. Others have problems at home with their families or in school with their school work. It’s never ok to bully anyone else no matter what has happened to a person in the past.

Both boys and girls can be bullies. Bullies might be putting down other people to try to make themselves feel better or they might have a problem even bigger and might need help from a health professional like a psychologist or therapist.
