Can you imagine being afraid to go to school, or scared to go to a store in your neighborhood to get your favorite candy, or scared to go to the park to play or just hang out with some friends? Well, some kids are. Kids just like you are afraid to do normal everyday activities that they should always feel comfortable doing. Usually these kids are being bullied.
Why?
There are many reasons why people are bullies. Sometimes they just want attention or want to become popular. Have you ever noticed that a bully always has an audience and that no one in the audience sticks up for the victim? Most bullies want to feel important or better about themselves. To do this their target is usually someone who is quiet, or smaller that them, or even someone who does well in school. Sometimes people bully for no reason at all.
Some bullies act that way because that is what they see at home. Maybe their parents, siblings or other family members yell or hit others all the time and the bully thinks that is normal to do.
Some bullies just don't care bout other people's feelings and say and do things to intentionally hurt others. Other bullies don't even realize that they are bullying.
