Bullying can seem to stem from many different things that are not seen by the public eye ("Why Do People Bully?", 2009). The three main reasons why children or even adults result to bullying are because of cultural causes, family issues, and even institutional causes. Cultural causes can show that as a society people are so intuitive to having power over everything and everyone and all they seem to care about is getting what we want. If a student comes from a background that might not necessarily be the best or may not have been receiving attention from their elders, may thrive for the power to cause harm to others so that they can create pain directed from themselves into someone else ("Why Do People Bully?", 2009). Power means a great deal to most people because it makes a person feel like they are on top of the world, which causes them to act completely different. Then there are family issues which seem to be the major cause of someone becoming a bully, because as previously shown,…

Some people bully others because they believe that doing so will make themselves feel better, even though the outcome is usually the complete opposite. Maybe for a moment they feel amazing, but looking back on it, bullies probably feel really bad about what they did. These bullies, although they appear to not have any sad feeling themselves, probably have a lot of unwanted things going on in their lives (such as divorced parents, the loss of a loved one, the fact that they have no friends, ect.) so they put people down by either physically harming them, verbally abusing them, or by use of a rather recent source: the internet. When you hear of bullying, the first thing you imagine is probably someone getting beat up. This method of bullying is called physical bullying, which is basically any undesirable form of contact from one person to another.
