Is it my fault I am being bullied?

No it is most certainly not your fault. People bully because they themselves have been bullied by someone and/or they feel insecure about something in their life. Nothing you do is causing you to be bullied and no-one should feel that way.

Bullying is almost never ever the fault of the person who is being bullied. No matter what a person does it still isn't a reason to bully them. This doesn't mean that the bully's are actively evil though, they might consider it to just be teasing, don't see the harm that it does or use it as a method to vent their own frustrations. This does not mean that you should just accept that you are being bullied, but it means that you should try and sit down with your bullies and talk to them about how it hurts you. Make sure to have a third party like a teacher to watch over the conversation and make sure it goes well if you feel uncomfortable with it being one on one.

Not at all. It's the fault of the people who bully you. They like the superiority they get by making you feel small to them. It's absolutely not your fault.

It is never your fault. This does not mean "always play victim" by any means. If someone is picking on you for something you have no control over or cannot change, then it is just the bully being a mean person. But it is never the victims fault.

It is the person who started it and it is not your fault if you have done nothing wrong and you should tell your family to help.

It is never the victims fault that something happened to them. People can be cruel and they want to put you down in order to boost themselves up. Blaming yourself will only lower your own confidence, which is exactly what the bully wants to happen. Believe in yourself and your worth, and don't ever let anyone bring you down

Nothing is ever just one persons fault. People bully to satisfy themselves. The only way it could be your fault is if you are bullying them back. If you are a bully getting bullied then that is why which that technically would be your fault. But no, anyone who is getting bullied, it’s not their fault. The bully is obviously just really bored or has their own insecurities and them picking on you for what they have makes them happy. How does that make them happy? Well no one picked on them for that insecurity so they feel that they are better in some way which really makes no sense. Be smart, don’t be a bully.
