Because some people have no feelings or emotions for others and think that it is fun to hurt people. They sometimes bully people to look tough, when in fact they are weak, to fit in with other people, who are just like themselves, bullies.
It is quite sad really

Bullies are very weak, so they think they need to fool you and look very tough, for some of them, it means picking on you. Sometimes it is for attention and other times, they think it makes them more of a person. An ex-bully from my school admitted that it was because his parents weren't very nice to him and that he was trying to hide the scared, weak little person they made him into. So bullying to him was never meant to hurt the kids he picked on, he just didn't want to be seen as the "abused boy."

Bullies are in fact the most insecure and weak people who put on a front to protect themselves if you are being bullied you don't have to take this nor does anyone you may know who is being bullied take action speak to a grown up /family or your head teacher stand up and be counted say no to bullys

Because it is fun, plain and simple. Remove the 'fun' variable, the motivation is gone, the bully moves on to new victims, then his wife, then his children and ultimately himself. A never ending cycle.

Because they want to have a feeling of power and dominion over other people. They want you to be afraid of them. It's kind of stupid.

The reason why people bully is because they are trying to get rid of the pain they are feeling onto someone who is smaller. They maybe have a bad life at home or they have mental problems that they can't help. But many is because they are upset over the fact that you have a good life and that your pretty or handsome and they might not be all that good-looking and they think if they make you feel bad that it makes them better and then they think that they are pretty. Don't listen to it just say okay whatever don't fight with them and try not to get upset they are just trying to cover what the are or trying to make themselves feel better. And it confuses them when your not bothered by it and soon they will stop because they can't anymore.

People bully people to make them selves feel better because they are going through something horrible in there life so to get rid of the pain they take it out on other people. I know what this is like I have been bullyed my whole life. It's not nice but people do it because they have nothing else to do.

People usually bully due to a lack of confidence or attention they receive. Thus meaning taking it out on someone else weaker than them. Its almost like an control issue for them, its easier to control someone who's weaker than them than it is to control their circumstances.

I think that people bully others because they feel insecure themselves. In most cases the person doing the bullying has either been abused or neglected by someone they care about and trust.

They have probably been bullied them self in life. Most times they have no life with no person to care about. They are fearless and have no feelings or respect for other people. Being bullied is not something to take likely.

Bullying people are stupid. If someone would do what they are doing they would cry and go to their parents.
