For me, I was bullied because I was the only one who questioned the bully's behaviour. Because I stood up to her and called her out. Sometimes they bully you because you're a stronger person than they'll ever be, and they just can't accept that.

Bullies mainly bully people they can get a reaction out of. If you are giving them that reaction that they are searching for then that may be while they are bullying you. Let your smile change the world. But don't let the world change your smile.

Maybe they are doing it just for fun to be cool/popular or maybe if it's the other gender maybe they like you.

Definition of bullying: Bulling is conduct that cannot be objectively justified by a reasonable code of conduct, and whose likely or actual cumulative effect is to threaten, undermine, constrain, humiliate or harm another person or their property, reputation, self-esteem, self-confidence or ability to perform. Tim Field Foundation 2015 From the many definitions that have been created, and considering our understanding of what bullying is, we coined this definition in 2015, and we believe it is unambiguous and that it cannot be used by a rational person to define innocent or legitimate behaviour as bullying. Pre-existing definitions, some of which helped us formulate the above, are here: Persistent, offensive, abusive, intimidating or insulting behaviour, abuse of power, or unfair punishment which upsets, threatens and/or humiliates the recipient(s), undermining their self-confidence, reputation and ability to perform. Derived from "Bullying at work: how to tackle it. A guide for MSF representatives and members: MSF 1995 When considering the reasonableness of the conduct in question, the perpetrator can be expected to give an innocent reason for their actions. However, their claimed intention does not define the reasonableness of their conduct: The prime consideration must be the effect of the conduct on the recipient. Context is everything. The persistence, the pattern and the effect of incidents which are, in isolation, trivial, creates the context in which those incidents can be regarded as bullying. Examples of the sort of incidents and the patterns are given below. Accusing someone of wrongdoing whilst knowing there are no grounds to do so is not fair and cannot be done in good faith, undermines a person's reputation and self confidence and is therefore bullying. Conversely, making a complaint, holding someone to account for substandard work or conduct, reporting malpractice etc, done with honest justification, fairly and in good faith, is not "bullying".

Often, bullies target people to make themselves feel better. As I do not know you or them, I can not declare why they would pick you over other people, but it's possible that they feel jealous of you for some reason. Perhaps they feel unhappy that you don't bend to peer pressure as much as they do or perhaps they miss a solid home life. Who knows what their problem is. :( Fortunately, bullying doesn't last forever because they will get tired of being a jerk all of the time. :D

You shouldn't read too much into this. Sometimes there is no reason. Abusive personalities pick a random victim for no reason. Sometimes they don't even realize they are bullies and they are targeting you.

The psychology behind bullying is often that the bully feels inferior and is experiencing a lot of their own insecurities. The easiest and laziest way for someone to feel superior instead is to tear others down! You may be someone who they are jealous of/want to be as good as, so they are making you feel inferior. When in fact, you are in their eyes, superior! Stay true to yourself, and stay above their lazy attempt to feel good about themselves. One day people will realise how toxic they are, and admire you for your courage! You can do this, use this experience to better yourself, and maybe make something out of it!

Bullying is a very serious issue and often bullies are the ones who feel insecure about certain aspects of themselves. Perhaps there is something about you that they pick on one for - their hair, their sexuality, their voice, etc. These could be qualities that they themselves have and are struggling with. This doesn't justify their abuse, of course, but it can help you gain a bit of perspective. I encourage you to inform someone of the abuse and utilize helpful resources so that this issue can be solved for you. Best of luck!

They choose who they think is weaker. If someone will stand to them then they won't bully you. They may have issues at home or in school to where they do that. It's not ok no matter what
