If you accept a hypothesis called sociobiology, bullying is the effort to find people one can dominate, so in hard times one can steal these people's food.

This means bullying is a very primitive response to social experience. What was important for animals in the wild is not a useful skill for people in healthy civilizations. Rarely is anyone in the western world so close to starvation that they need to steal food, but the bullying response continues because it's now been bred into us. (Those alive today and the descendents of people who survived hard times and one technique they used was stealing food.)

It's the job of civilization to train bullying out of people so they don't act like wild animals.

People may bully others due to feelings of insecurity, a desire for power or control, seeking attention, or reflecting experiences of being bullied themselves. It is crucial to address underlying issues, promote empathy and respect, and provide support for both the bully and the victim.
