Why do people bully?

Two basic reasons: They have a deep, troubling need of their own and may feel picked on or believe that their life is not very successful. 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. Witnessing bullying and not reporting it is encouraging bullying.
