Question

Did it give you a kick or something?Peer-pressure?Do you give someone a hard time if you consider them weak, a loser, or inferior to you somehow?

Oh, and it doesn't matter if it was one on one, in the past or recently. I just wanna know why.

Answer 1

I think most people have bullied someone. It just gets less extreme as you move down the social ladder. At the top, it's beatings and extreme humiliation, towards the bottom it's more just name calling and harassment. We bully because it feels good to exert dominance over another person. Anyone who says they don't enjoy the feeling of being better than someone is either lying, or has forgotten what it feels like. I think peer pressure does have something to do with bullying for sure. I know from my own experience I bullied fat/weak/stinky boys when I otherwise would've not because I was in a social situation. I was trying to impress my friends you know. I'm not saying I'm blameless, it felt good and I liked it. But if my friends weren't around, there would've been no reason to beat him up you know. It separates the weak from the strong and lets your friends know you're not weak. And don't say you never bullied anyone because you have.

Answer 2

i think when people pick on others that they have a low self worth, and it makes them feel superior when picking on another. think some of it is peer pressure from friends, wanting to look big for your friends. think this is only something immature people who are insensitive do to others. but once they are on the hurting end of this perhaps they will realize just what they did to the other and stop doing it.

Answer 3

no... I never like it done to me when I was in school. Every time I wanted to do that, because I just couldn't stand them. I think back, and i didn't like it when it was done to me , so I'm not going to do it to them.
