People always see the victims of bullying as weak people, which is most definitely not the case. By showing a strong character, people assume you are never in the vulnerable position, which again is not true as bullying can happen to anybody.

It's a stereotype. Generally, larger people (height, build, etc.) get pegged as the agitators, when really it can be anyone causing problems.

Because people seem to associate strength with the qualities of a bully due to all of those movies and such that seem to depict a bully as strong or overly so.

Instinctually, people judge on appearances as a means of survival and as bullies have stereotypical characteristics of being mean as well as 'strong', people automatically may assume this without you being a bully. I wouldn't let it get into your head if you're not one and prove them wrong and show you're one of the good guys! (:

Bully's often happen to be big and strong. It could happen that people automatically associate strong with bullying because of past experiences they had with bullies that were actually strong.
