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.

It mostly is, yes. You can't control people that bully you but you CAN control whether or not it bothers you.

Absolutely not! Your job as a human being is to be an individual and express your uniqueness. Anyone who criticizes you for that is merely insecure in their own self. Rock on and be you!

No. It is never the victims fault, it is never your fault that your right to feel: safe loved and happy are being violated. The only way it is you fault is if you know all that, know you have the courage to change it, but you don't.

It's never your fault. Bullying isn't a sensical act to begin with. There isn't a niche or a single type of people who get bullied. But there's a type of people who tend to unfairly treat people and bully them, and the key word here is unfairly.
