Why do some people get picked on, while others get left alone?

Answer 1

I personally think that it (unfortunatly) is human nature to pick on those people who are percieved as weak or different for what ever reason. I myself have never really been picked on because I think people perceive me as someone who acts like they are sure of themselves and are confident in they way they hold their body (body language). The way you talk, act and just your general posture have a lot to do with getting picked on.
If you walk with your head up, looking people in the eye and act like you mean what you say then ( to me) it would seem that people will leave you alone. You are not percieved as a weakling and hold your head down when you walk and talk to someone.
Perhaps this answers your queation.
