When people are mean to you it could be mean they are jealous or want to feel better about themselves. If your wondering why making people feel bad would help themselves its because when they do that they feel in control knowing most kids will listen to them by being afraid and not giving it back to them. Your probably just as strong as them or even more stronger but you are never less then them even if they say so. So just be strong and tell them to cut it out. -hang in there it happens to most of us at least once.

How can people be so mean?

People are mean normally if they're in a bad mood, have been mean to or something similar to this!! People are in bad moods often and I'm sometimes in a bad mood myself but my friends and family will remind me not to take it out on other people, but some people can't help it, and have a tendency of taking it out on other people. If you ever do this or if I ever do this I hope you apologize or try to remember to.. Or,, just try not to even be mean!! People have feelings and it hurts when they get hurt!!


Why do people have to be so mean to other people?

Some people are so insecure about themselves that they find someone sweet and naive to rip into, thus alleviating some of the emotional pain. Then again, some people are born without any compassion and thrive on making other people's lives a living hell. The latter will probably never change, whereas all the misunderstood people just need someone to be a friend and a confidant, and their attitude will probably improve over time. because a little thing in their brain tells them to be means or maybe they have a mental problem or they have a hard home life or are very sensitive so that causes them to be mean or have bad social skills so if someone is mean to you try to understand and just ingore them just please try thanks God bless you -- Because they don't care about other people's feelings. becuz there usually jealous
