By Steven Soifer What is bullying? Bullying is an unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Both kids who are bullied and who bully others may have serious, lasting problems. Kids who bully use their power—such as physical strength, access to embarrassing information, or popularity—to control or harm others. Power imbalances can change over time and in different situations, even if they involve the same people.

What Causes Bullying? Bullies come from dysfunctional families. A dysfunctional family is not a guarantee that a child will become a bully. However, a large number of bullies come from homes where there is little affection and openness. They may often witness their parents being aggressive toward friends, siblings or other members of the family.

Bullies need to be in control. Kids who push others around are often driven by the need for power. They enjoy being able to attack others. These types of kids are typically impulsive and they Succed when their victims cower when they are in front of them. They don't care how other people feel.

Bullies don’t care how others feel. Some children either lack feeling or like to see others in pain. When they hurt someone, they have no sense of what the people around them are feeling. Sometimes a perpetrator may even get pleasure from seeing a child cry as he kicks him down the hallway. The reactions of the victims gives the bully a sense of accomplishment, so he continues the behavior.
