My bully says there is no reason that they like to bully me, shouldn't there always be a reason?

Most bullies do not have a reason they just bully anyone and everyone because they are not secure in their own selves.

Most bullies are just jealous, or maybe they just have some anger issues so they take it out on the next person they see. Some one who they think is having it easy ...

There is a reason. Something is wrong in their own life that they don't think will ever change. They search for ways to let off some of the pressure.

I think there's always a reason why the bully is bullying people, but not always a reason why they're bullying a specific person.

People do not need a reason to be mean to each other. Do not think there has to be something immediately visible to everyone. In fact, if there even is one, the reason may be them rather than you. they could be projecting their own insecurities onto you or teasing someone else to feel better about something terrible going on in their own lives. Just remember how you react to them and how strong you are is what matters!

Even if a bully says that there is "no reason" it is rarely quite that simple. Often times bullies find the sense of power in what they are doing to be filling a void in their life where the feel powerless. They may be doing it to cover up bad personal feelings, abuse at home or peer pressure among other things. This does not make the bullying OK, of course, but understanding this may help you to understand the mindset of why that person is lashing out at tyou.

Sometimes they just not happy with themselves. Forgive them and move on. Don't forget though and learn from your experience. If it fet's worse, if I were you, I would tell someone so the bullying could stop. No one deserves to be bullied.

sometimes people bully to show their seniority and feel the power that they can get when people fear them.

There probably is a meaning behind it that they have yet to discover. A lot of people have a deep rooted reason for why they do things, and they aren't even sure why. It could be something that emotionally affect them from their past, but they refuse to acknowledge it and get out their feelings through picking on others.

Most bullies are created, never born. Personally, I have been bullied and been one to people (who are now some of closets friends) I was under a lot of pressure and had been in a toxic friendship which made me turn into someone I am not. The person must've gone through so much and probably didnt have anyone by their side to listen to them and support them. People can change. No matter what your past may be, your present defines who you are as a person. So there is a possibility that they might bully you for no reason because their past/the people they hang around with or sometimes they even do it out of jealously.
