There are signs that they probably are. But it really depends. Some just do it to have a little´fun´ or just to fit in.

It is not the only case, however, it can be a contributing factor. There are lots of different issues that can affect whether an individual is bullying others, such as but not limited to, parent's divorce, lack of friends or other kind of events.

I think that the reason why other people bully varies however most of the time, the one who is bullying is the one who is not sure about themselves or is dealing with some struggles of their own and are using other people's pain to make themselves feel in control.

Most of the time, but in other cases they may just have anger problems or other strong emotions that they are not sure how to let out. So they can resort to violence and taking their feelings out on other people.

Yes, almost everyone who bully others are insecure about their life or has a burden within them that makes them pushed down, which is why they bully others, to lift themselves up.

No person is born mean. We are taught to be that way or something happens that makes us act out in a bad way. Bullies could be insecure or jealous or simply confused.

I've felt that it could be either. Some bully to ensure themselves that they are important and needed. But the other spectrum bully for just for feeling of satisfaction or for sadistic pleasure.

Yes, it's true, people who bully usually were bullied themselves or do not have the confidence to stand up for themselves. They also need help, it doesn't look like it but it's true, if you know someone that was bullied or that bully others try to see if can talk, maybe they just need a good friend to talked to. I've a friend that was bully and then I talked to her and it was like enough for her to became better with the situation and trying to resolve it. Everyone just need someone to talked too. Be happy, live and help !
