No it is not your fault that you get bullied. A bully is just broken down themselves and wants everyone to feel their pain. The bully may choose to pick on you because they no you are to kind, nice, and gentle to do anything in return.
No bullying isn't your fault, Bullying is a fault of a bully not you. Bullies are people who make fun of others because they like too but they don't realizethat they hurt someone's feeling or in some cases physical pain too. But its defiantly not your fault that your not your fault.
No. Really, trust me, that's not your fault. People who bully others are the bad guys in this story, they are the ones who are wrong here. You didn't do anything wrong. Believe in yourself, you deserve so much better than what those bullies are telling you. Don't listen to them, they don't know what they're talking about. Stay strong and take care
Getting bullied on any occasion is by chance and not be choice. Every person, according to me has the right to dress themselves or do anything about themselves. If it is not accepted by someone else, he or she must learn to accept it.

Of course it isn't your fault! If you are being bullied you should always tell someone and you should know it is never your fault. The bullies are at fault here for putting you down like this. No one deserves to be bullied and it is not your fault, just tell someone about it and it will stop.
No, it's not your fault. Bullies always exists and they will always find someone to mess with .But there are steps you can take to solve the problem.

No it is never ever ever your fault. Please dont ever think that, being bullied is a horrible thing and it should not happen to you.
It is never your fault. Dont ever believe anyone who says "you're asking for it". Some people are scumbags, and society likes to abuse people who are different in any way. The worst thing you could do is change yourself to fit in. Be proud of your uniqueness when they're all just sheep following the herd. Be you, and I promise you one day it will all get better... Trust me. :)
Absolutely not. Bullies typically feel like they are missing something in their own lives and fill that void by trying to bring others down to their level. The best thing you can do is ignore them and move away, hopefully to an area that they can't get to you. If they continue, it's best to bring it up to someone that can deal with it (teacher, principle, supervisor, etc.)
No, it is never the victims fault. There is no such thing as "Asking for it" or "Brought it upon myself", Bullying is a horrible act that has everything to do with the bullies issues, not yours.

Absolutely not! You're your own person and sometimes people don't like that. Ignore them! people will always do horrible things to hurt you.
Not at all! Don't ever think that! People normally bully others because they have their own insecurities, and it makes them feel better about themselves when they project those inhibitions onto other people. It's solely about the person who's bullying you, it has nothing to do with you.
No of course not! Bullies normally bully because they are unhappy or jealous or trying to make others feel as miserable as them. It's never your fault that you are getting bullied.
Nope it is not, victim blaming is not ok. Although people argue that certain behaviors invite bullying, such as being different or acting outside of social norms.
Being assertive and telling the appropriate people can help reduce bullying. For example telling other teachers in school could help as teachers would hopefully intervene and the bully would be more hesitant to continue his/her behavior.
Aside from that, learning how to ignore bullies or recognize their behavior can make you more resilient as a person.
No it’s not your fault. You should be confident about yourself as the people who bully you, they know you have the power to rise and shine, that’s why they are bringing you down. Just believe in yourself and either stand up for yourself or just simply ignore them. Best of luck and remember I believe in you
Not at all. Bullying is a result of someone feeling the need to put someone else down, and if you're being bullied it's not your fault, just your unfortunate. I'm sad to hear that you're in this position. But remember you're not at fault, and you're wonderful
It is most definitely not your fault! No one has ever done anything to deserve being bullied, and you are certainly not an exception.

No, it would NEVER be your fault. Honestly, you are just being troubled about because you are an extraordinary person, who just so happens to have very significant features that make you the best person you are today, all I am trying to say is : It is NOT your fault for being unique,it is NOT your fault for making your unique features significant! So No, it will never be your fault. :)
No, it's not your fault at all. You didn't ask for it and you certainly don't like it. You may feel like it's your fault, or even think you deserve it, but it's not.
No, you shouldn't feel like its your fault for being bullied. Some people just like to bully people because they are having some of their own problems. or they just like to bully for no reason.

It is not your fault at all. Usually, bullies project onto other people and hurt them because they're hurting too.
It's never your fault for being bullied. People have a problem handling differences in a positive manner, and sadly, that's how they cope

No, but are you taking steps to stop yourself from being bullied? Whether you have to stand up to the person. Or get help. Don't let them think they have that power over you.. You don't deserve that treatment. You shouldn't have to live, constantly feeling tense or scared.
No! Not at all. It's the bully's fault. They just need someone to pick on to make themselves feel better. Usually because they're home life or something related isn't going well.

It is definitely not your fault; nobody deserves to be bullied regardless of whom they are. You should consider talking to a professional or someone who can help you through this. You do not have to be a victim always - stand up for yourself and try to get help.
All the best!

No. It is never the victims fault that they get bullied, the fault should always lie on the bully. It is their decision to behave how they do.

No, the bully is often weak and wants to put others down to feel good or they just abuse their power.
It is never your fault that you get bullied. Bullies generally will try to make it seem like your fault even when it is impossible for it to be your fault. It's not your problem that people won't accept who you are
