i think when bullies make fun of other kids, its to try to be more popular, and to be liked more. great essay and thread.

I think bullying is pretty much the same everywhere, all for the same reasons, it's like, if you're quiet, vunerable or not able to stick up for yourself, then you get picked on! Esspecially if you arn't attractive, kids are getting more and more critical of the way others look, thanks to the media. I think some people might have senstive feelings on this topic as to why they are not posting in it. The essay is long but you can skim read most of it. Even the start sums most of it up.
