Bullying has many of the same dynamics as sexual assault. The victim is robbed of their power and control of their situations. As a defense mechanism, they may blame themselves, perhaps as a means to not feel as powerless. If something is your fault, then you can fix it, and thus you have power. But if you have power to do right by yourself and you don't, then shame would be a reasonable emotion. So victims of bullying feel shame because on at least some level, they blame themselves when it is not their fault.
