Most likely due to a lack of self worth in some aspect of their own life. Far to often it is the lack of good parental supervision. Either crooks having kids for the welfare benefits or unfortunately a untimely death of a parent can spiral an otherwise good family out of control. Stupidity breeds stupidity as well as ignorance and hate. I commend those who break that cycle.
It takes just one person to say I am going to make a positive example for others to follow.
Look at some of the not so brilliant questions and absolutely thoughtless answers that can be found as you look through this and other forums on line.
I have to say YAHOO has a great thing going here! They have some good built in ways to deal with intellectual slackers. The Internet was first developed for the sharing of vital scientific and medical data in a very time sensitive manner. Look at all of the great transfer of information available here.

It's the same concept as humans stepping on bugs, because we can. We have an innate response to the weak, as children they don't really know right from wrong so the innate response (Survival of the fittest) takes over and thus bullying begins.

because some people (the big kid ) have self esteem problems and the only way that they can feel big is by making someone feel little !! this is a deep rooted psych. problem often brought on due to mistreatment by a parent or older sibling or just generally feeling inadequate (which causes them to act out ,often they feel that the feeling is someone elses fault though it comes from within!)

If you are asking why bullies pick on smaller people, it's because their size gives them power. Bullies use their power to intimidate and hurt other people. The source of power could be: size, intelligence/knowledge, political status, position (e.g. boss).
If you are asking why people bully, it's because they need to hurt other people to make themselves feel better. Often, it's because they are the victims of bullies.

Because for some reason they have to be the center of attention but what they dont realize is it is the wrong attention. Someone needs to show them what they look like when they are doing this.

Because they are usually taught this at home by being abused by their very own parents or siblings. Most of the time the children are insecure or scared to death of this very thing happening to them.
