A bully gets satisfaction of making someone suffer or hurt more than they might be hurting. It's like revenge.

The feeling of superiority. I think they feel like they are bigger than everyone else which makes them crave that power resulting in bullying.

Most of the time, bullies have their own problems. It could be problems like self esteem, anger management, abuse, etc... By putting others down, they get a bit of a confidence boost. Sometimes, bullies don't KNOW that they're bullies, because they think that their actions are justifiable. For example, people often insult and demean others online for bullying, but they don't realise that bullying bullies makes them a bully themselves!

May be that someone told them to stop, but also some bullies are guilty too! Remember they are persons to and even though they are bullies and may be really mean, we all have feelings

A lot of times a bully was bullied themselves or doesn't really have a good home life. A bully may get the attention they don't get at home. It all boils down to attention. A bully is seeking attention.

Satisfaction for their insecurities. When someone isnt feeling good about themselves, they tend to take it out on others.

A bully feels that they need to bully people because they are unhappy with themselves. When they take those negative emotions out on somebody else, they feel above the person they are bullying.
