Why are you a bully?

Why am i a bully?

Why am i a bully?
Why do i want to make kids cry?
When i got found out today,
My parents asked me why?

Do you think its clever
Making others feel so sad?
Would i pick on others
Who were tall, tough or bad?

'So you think you're really hard?'
My parents frowned and said
I stood there shuffling awkwardly
I mumbled and lowered my head

I'd seen it on the telly
I'd listened to teachers and stars
But i hadn't listened hard enough
And now it had gone too far

The kids that i had picked on
Had spoken out that day
They wouldn't give in any more
They said they wouldn't pay

As i left across the yard
The kids all stopped and stared
My parents either side of me
Hardly spoke a word

I turned and looked
And heard the sound of laughter,
joy and play
I knew that if i changed my ways
I might join in with them one day!


What is the difference between bullying and teasing?

when you are bullied it is by the same person all the time but teasing is sometimes a friendly way of finding things out.if you are getting bullied stand up to them i was getting bullied until i stood up.never show your weakness,if they do or say something that hurts your feelings dont cry in front of them walk away, cry behind closed doors.you see bullies thrive on weakness, if they know what your afraid of or they know what hurt your feelings they will carry on doing that until you stand up for yourself.teasing is just once in a while,no contact just a name here and there, friends do it to friends.so there is alot of difference between bullying and teasing

- yeah i agree teasing can be a friendly way of getting to know something, where, bullying is MUCH WORSE because sometimes it can lead to violence.

What are the characteristics of a bully?

What you are requesting here is a stereotype or archetype. The problem is that while there might be some truth to all stereo and archetypes, they are all wrong, incorrect, misguided, and biased.

Some characteristics of a bully (may) include:

  • Is constantly teasing, taunting, and putting down others
  • Occasionally targets one or a small number of others
  • Makes snide, sarcastic, or sardonic comments aimed at one, more, or all others
  • Is perceived as having high self-esteem
  • Is perceived as having low self-esteem
  • Appears to be popular
  • Appears to be unpopular
  • Appears to be unremarkable or ignored but not excluded by others
  • Is befriended by others for their protection
  • Does not have empathy
  • Has high empathy, except for his target(s)
  • Does not feel compassion easily
  • Experiences a high degree of compassion for some, but not others
  • Has an angry demeanor
  • Has a calm demeanor
  • High socio-economic status
  • Low socio-economic status
  • Ambiguous socio-economic status
  • May be a witness to or victim of physical, emotional, psychological, and/or sexual violence in the home.
  • Has no personal experience with of physical, emotional, psychological, and/or sexual violence in the home.
  • Comes from a broken home.
  • Comes from a mixed home.
  • Raised in a typical nuclear family.
  • May be physically strong. (Typically a physical bully)
  • May be physically weak. (Typically the intellectual bully)
  • May have difficulty following rules.
  • May be a stickler for rules and feels empowered to enforce them

As can be seen by the list above, compiled from several different sources, bullies defy description. This is often the problem you will encounter when you try to put a person in a box, that is apply a label to them that is intended to describe that person part and parcel. Humans are complex critters. We do things for an infinite number of reasons, and we share a lot of common behavioral patterns. The problem is that a huge number of the motivating factors behind our behaviors, while similar are different. We're not programed off the same software, and our hardware, again while very similar, is different for every person. Psychology, the branch of science that addresses this, is not a hard science like math or chemistry with infinitely repeatable scenarios that produce exactly the same product. Psychology is a wet science, dealing with marshmallowy mushy software, and drippy wet hardware. You can subject two different subjects to exactly the same stimuli and get dramatically different results, or eerily similar results with no way to understand exactly why.

Why do people get bullied in school?

If you mean 'Why are schoolchildren bullied?', then it's because the bullies want to make people think they're tough and cool. But really, there is nothing cool(or tough) about bullying. Buillies also want to try and control other people, get them into trouble and so on.


Research has shown that a large percentage of children who bully are being bullied at home, either by older siblings or by their parents.


Another reason is because schools do not deal with the problem properly, when it first happens. The bullies get away with it so they continue.


Other children who are not necessarily bullies themselves become "bystanders". They are too frightened to stand up to the bully in case it happens to them too.

How did the word queer became a slur word?

As a common slang word for homosexual, queer dates from the 1920's. Whether it is a slur or not depends entirely on the speaker's intent. The adjective queer normally means different from expected, arousing suspicion, eccentric; as a slang term it means fake, counterfeit, male homosexual. As a verb, queer means to ruin or thwart ( an enterprise), put (someone) in an awkward or bad position. It derives from a Germanic root meaning perverse, cross.

What is the effect of peer pressure in the student?

Peer pressure tends to have more of an effect on children with low self-esteem. If a child feels compelled to fit in, the teen may do things that go against his or her beliefs simply to be part of the group.

Peer pressure can lead to experimentation with drugs and alcohol, sex, skipping school, and various high-risk behaviors. If you notice a sudden change in your child's appearance, clothing, and attitude, especially if accompanied by secretive behavior, he or she may be succumbing to the influences of peers. You should be especially alert to sudden changes in the friends who make up their core peer group. An unexplained change in the type of friends you child associates with would indicate that your child is vulnerable to new influences that may not be positive.

How is peer pressure can be both positive and negative?

Well, in every case that I've seen peer pressure it had bad effects. So let's say someone is really good, listens in school does their homework, Then someone who is the opposite of that comes along and teases them they are pressured to do wrong. So that is really bad. But, in really rare cases ( I mean really rare) Someone who is good makes someone who is bad to be pressured to do good. Now that is a positive effect. In conclusion, it can be either way. It depends on what you are talking about. I hope I helped. Well, in every case that I've seen peer pressure it had bad effects.

ANSWER 2:

I just answered a similar post, but basically many bullies come from homes with family issues. They may have been taught to use rage and violence to handle problems. They may think that their behavior is normal and acceptable. They may carry their own emotional pain deep inside and just want to dish it out. Some may have been taught to get their own way they have to be abusive. The get what they want-power, status and attention. The reality is bullies and those they bully need serious help from their parents or trusted individuals like school teachers and administrators and the police. Bullying is a crime and just cannot be tolerated. see Awake magazine

How many kids are injuried from bullying each year in schools?

Some kids react to bullying by considering themselves weak and powerless, and self-abuse is just a psychological reaction to many types of emotional upset. It is important to establish that the problem is with the bullies, not the bullied, and they should face discipline, along with their parents, for inflicting harm on other, weaker kids. In some cases, bullying results from being bullied, and teachers and social service personnel should be trained to identify problems with children in situations involving abuse.

Often, it requires some amount of bravery to confront bullies, but it is the most effective way to stop them.

What factors do you believe contribute to workplace bullying Are bullies a product of the situations and what personality factors might contribute to the presence of bullies?

  • Factors that contribute to workplace bullying can be the company where the person is working where profit comes first and the needs of the employee are low on the food chain. From different studies some Managers or Supervisors are the main bullies; some believing that inducing stress or threats of being fired will produce more work from an employee. Then there is a coworker or a group of coworkers that can induce gossip; threats or even threats to the victim. It is not so much the bullying at random that does the damage, but the constant bullying that can actually cause Post Traumatic Stress in some employees. Some Managers and Supervisors are trained in sternness or even threats or an overload of work that they know a certain employee cannot possibly complete if they choose to get rid of that employee. The other side of the coin is coworker dating which is high on the list. It is not wise to date a boss; Manager; Supervisor or even a coworker because if the relationship does not go well then in some cases bullying may start by gossip alone. If an employee (most often women) get raises more often than others or put into a higher position other employees can start gossip that the person is sleeping with the boss when it may well not be true. A coworker may blame another coworker (the victim) of making a mistake when it was the coworker themselves and Supervisors or even Managers can blame an employee or employees for their own short comings. Power in a company can often be misused to bully employees. High stress in Management down to organizational changes within the company can be cause for anxiety and stress leading to some forms of bullying. Companies are well aware of their power and some use it wisely, while unfortunately, many do not and use it as a powerhouse against employees to produce more work.
