Why bullies tend to become more aggressive when you show them you just want peace?

Because they dont respect you. You must put them at their place calmly, so they realise they cant step on you without getting burned anymore.

It's because they want a fight. They want a struggle to gratify their moral need. And when they don't get that, it infuriates them. That's the reason they become more aggressive to provoke the fight inside of the victim.

Bullying is much more complex than many people think. Bullying can happen for a number of reasons, one of those reasons being that the bully could be feeling insecure about themselves, or not even realize they are bullying. It definitely does not make it okay, but it is important to remember that there are two sides to every coin. Because there are so many reasons people bully, though, I wouldn't be able to know for sure why some bullies become more aggressive. If you are being bullied, though, please make sure to report it!

Bullies become more aggressive because they feel like they aren't bothering you and they are trying to bother you. So instead of trying to make peace just ignore them. Tell a trusted adult. Come on 7 cups of tea and talk to one of us. We are here for you when you are down.

Because they grow stronger when you get infuriated or upset by them. They just want a reaction because they're seeking attention.

I feel that the reason why this is, is because you are showing them that they can not control your feelings. So the begin to panic by lashing out in anger.

They are looking for a fight. If they don't get it they try harder for one. Tell a teacher or parent.

Bullies want you to be afraid and they want to have control. Showing them that you want peace shows them that they are getting the control that they crave so they continue in order to get more control.

Bullies are actually there to bother you because they gain pleasure out of it. When you negotiate with them, they take it to be your fear and they try to overpower you. Ignore them when necessary. Confront them when actually required.

I think that's because they can't stand the fact that you aren't responding to them in the way that they wish for you to do so. If you are showing them that you are fearful of them then they still have control of the situation however, once you take that from them they don't know how to show anything other than aggression towards you. Bullies tend to want to fight and if someone isn't wanting to respond by fear or fighting back then they have won. Peace isn't something that bullies tend to have much of because of their own insecurities so for someone to show them peace then they can't understand it.
