Why isn't it obvious to everyone that bullies act like jerks and put down others to make up for something that they are lacking within themselves? Why are they viewed as strong when they are really scared and weak inside? Can't people see past the facade?

They come off and being strong and aggressive. People fear them because their bark is worst than their bite. Not everyone can see through the bullies. But anyone who does have high self esteem wouldn't put others down.

they seem to have a lot of "power" which they draw from intimidating others. Fear gives them "power" and unfortunately, not enough is being done to stop bullies at once. They get far too many chances and usually things end up ugly mainly because even the school staff is afraid of the bullies' parents - older bullies.

They fear them.

They bully because inside they are hurt and they think if they can hurt someone else they feel higher power (other than they proabably arent getting at home)

People respect them (fakely respect) so they wont end up on the person who getting bullied side.

They are scared to stand up for themselves so they want to become the bully and not the victim!

a real dose of certainty. while somebody on the factor of them dies, or they lose something in existence that relatively meant something to them. yet, i myself do no longer understand who taught you this. by way of fact maximum those that are impolite or bullies are relatively depressing, no longer straightforward those that think of that by way of fact they "have it so no longer straightforward" anybody owes them something, so as that they think of they are able to act although they choose. additionally, a variety of of those that are being bullied or mistreated themselves and can't do something relating to the situation (or think of they are able to't), bully others that they understand they are able to smash out with. it particularly is why maximum abused human beings develop into abusers themselves, even although they hate abuse. it particularly is by way of fact they deliver around plenty anger and self loathing, and it is likewise what they found out. we are, oftentimes, a manufactured from our ecosystem, and, regrettably, our ecosystem immediately could be no longer too great.

They don't respect them. They fear them; take a look at Hilter and Stalin. Complete *******, manipulative, and not to be trusted. Yet people still followed them. I wonder why?



Because they would have you killed or tortured if you didn't.

people probably wish they could be as authoritative as them. also, they fear them. it's easier to stick on the side of the bully. sucky bullies.
