The roots of bullying include exposure of the bullies to bullying, insecurity on the part of the bully, aggression on the part of the bully, frustration, and the presence of potential victims. However, low self-esteem is not often a cause, since studies have found that bullies often think more highly of themselves than warranted.
Those who feel they are at either end of the social ladder are most likely to do it because they feel they can get by with it. The rich kids have family, influence, wealth and connections, so they feel they can get by with it, and the poorest bullies feel they have nothing to lose. That is only a part of it, since there are middle class bullies too.
Here are some likely contributing factors:
1. Some bullies are abused or bullied themselves.
2. Some bullies have parents who are aggressive and competitive in their daily lives and who model bullying.
3. Some bullies have parents who directly encourage bullying. They will teach their kids to fight unfairly, and they may punish their kids for losing any fights they are involved in.
4. Some bullies are in large homes and feel the need to compete for their parents' love and affection, and the need to compete to get their needs met. They might have to push and shove at the table to get fed since there is not quite enough to go around. Thus the most aggressive get fed the most.
5. Some bullies have parents who are oblivious to their bullying and think the kids cannot do any wrong. If a conflict comes up, the parents blame the other kid and don't make their own take any responsibility for their actions. The parents might be off drinking or doing shameful things. The bully feels ashamed of their parents and may pick up some of their ways, and they take advantage of the lax discipline and bully.
6. Some bullies are self-hating. Subconsciously, they see themselves as weak and powerless, and they learn to hate those traits in others.
