What makes a bully target people?

Weakness. They are like sharks. Retarded sharks, specifically.

I think, ultimately, I blame the parents of the victim - because only if there is something screwy back at home (either parents not supportive of their weirdo kid, or parents actively rising a weirdo kid because they are themselves weirdos), you get a kid who offers a bully an interesting target. Kids who are non-weirdos or who are weirdos but have enough self-confidence not to bothered by bullying do not become targets.

It's the same as with suicide - you could find countless of reasons for people to commit suicide, but in 99% of cases there are people who suffer the same stuff but do not commit suicide - what makes the difference is in the head.

When I hear stories like that, it always strikes me how attitudes change and how oversensitive we have become. I have this friend who told me about the stuff from his school. He had a bully constantly targeting him - you know, tying his shoelaces, putting his dog on fire, anal rape - the annoying but usual thing those days. Then one day my friend finally snapped and burned the motherfucker's house down with his parents inside, sleeping. And the bullying stopped.

The principal called them both to his office on the next day, gave them a punch on the face, (this being a catholic school), molested them a bit, and let them go. And in the end they got to be best friends.

Someone would probably get arrested for some of that stuff today.  :rolleyes:

Why don't you try again without the sarcasm?

I have no idea what you're honestly trying to say here.

That wasn't meant to be sarcastic. And the previous post was meant to be humorous.

Exactly.

Martinus... your posts on this forum haven't lead people to think you're a troll... they've lead people to think you're an idiot.  They're right.

Would somebody point out why his two paragraphs I replied too are off the reservation. I'm not seeing it.

That would kind of ruin the point of his post, wouldn't you think?

OK, he's saying that the parents have a part in why their kid gets bullied. I would say this would not be the case 100% of the time. Eh, but a point.

What makes a bully tick and why?
