It is because of their insecurities as others have said but at the same time it is a means to 'test the water'; to see how far they can push you.
The harder they push without you retaliating the more powerful they feel. Its a game to them.
People see through it and bullys are only looking powerful in their own eyes.
It's not big and its not clever.

It's Man's (and Woman's) natural desire to be better than the next. Some people can try to do it in a more civilised way, eg one-upmanship, sport etc, but some feel they have to resort to bullying

i think bullys are repressed people
either they have been bullied themselves at some stage of their life, or the are not confident in their bodies, and want to draw attention to themselves
most bullies back down when confronted confidently...or they pull a knife

A bully is a weak person who has to abuse others to make him/herself feel strong and to boost their ego. People who are weak inside have to psychogically feel strong on the outside and this is the way they do it - through bullying.

Because of their own self-esteem....they have none and bullying makes them feel better. Most of the time it's upbringing. Sometimes it's caused by current life experience.

Because some people are ***holes and feel inferior! Take my ex-boss for example-she's fat and lazy and mean. I got tired of covering for her, so she harassed me by having me followed then tried to write me up for being on the job--then for not being there! You can't have it both ways....

Some one has to be in control it's a way of life, if we were all the same life would be pretty boring
