According to dictionary.com, bullying is using superior strength or influence to intimidate, typically to force him or her to do what one wants. There are all different types of bullying too. Some are verbal, physical, and social. We do not try to hear of bullying at school or online. No one will really stick up for the bully, but I figured why not give some reasons as to why someone might be a bully. Let's bring awareness to bullying.

1. Fear of inferiority.

The bully themselves are struggling. The bully might be struggling with reading, writing, or they can't figure out that history question. By bullying someone who might know the answer puts the focus on that student instead of the bully who is struggling with the topic.

2. Being bullied themselves.

Children learn from watching and listening. They learn from example. The child being bullied is going to bully because they are down on themselves. Bullying someone else might make them feel better because they are taking their aggression out.

3. Peer pressure.

As a kid you want to fit in with all your friends. If they are forcing you to bully you mostly likely will. The child might be afraid if they don't bully they will become the victim.

4. Envy.

A child might want what another child has. The child might take the specific item from the other child, which is a form of bullying.

5. Untaught.

Not knowing how to interact with others or the right way to get what they want. Teach children how to speak or communicate in a friendly way.

We live in a world where there really is no peace anymore. It is a sad thing. Teach your children the right way to talk and treat someone. Bullying can lead to horrible things if not taken care of. Children have taken their own lives because of being bullied. Just remember you might think your child is an angel, bit when your not around can be the one doing the bullying. Talk to them. Teach them. Motivate them to be the bigger and better person.
