Why do they do this?

Bullies are usually mean when, they have hard lives or just to get noticed. Sometimes the bully could get abused at home or at school, maybe he or she has no friends or has lower grades. They usually do it to make others feel what they feel everyday. Sometimes they are shy and can't get in the light...but you just got to tell them that they'll get there one day! Try being nice instead of saying something mean or doing something back. They might give you a hard life because they think the'll get cooler..but it's not true. you should say to him or she that You know what, I don;t think what you are doing is cool or is getting you GOOD attention. You are getting attention but in other peoples mine not the "cool" way of attention more like: oh no he/she beat that kid up, no way am i being their friend!
