Why People Bully

I think that we had a really great discussion about bullying.  Your paragraphs were great, had excellent structure, and had great opinions.  Here is a summary of why we think people bully:

Bullies want to get attention and people to talk about them.
Bullies feel better about themselves when they pick on others.
Bullies often give into peer pressure and that makes them bully others.
Bullies might have bad role models that they learn bully-like behavior from.
Bullies might be in pain and hurt themselves and don't know how to deal with it the right way.
Bullies might have been bullied and want revenge so they bully others.
Bullies might be jealous of people, so they bully them.
Bullies might want to be in control of others and have others feel fear.
