A child may feel ashamed about certain things about him. If he believes they don't match what he thinks is good enough. Shame makes a child want to hide or simply disappear from life. Shame can be experienced as a strong self-contempt that pushes the child to become a bully, because he tends to more easily interpret what other children are ashamed of. It seems easy to blame another person for being ashamed of the same things as another person. For example, I am ashamed of my weight and in return I sometimes make fun of my husband Joey's weight. I personally will make a remark to my husband that his shirt is too tight and he might need to lose a few pounds. I only do it when I feel fat and/or ugly. Bullying is a horrible trait to have. There are many reasons why children bully other children. In my opinion there is never a good reason to bully. I believe that if we come together as a nation and educate our younger generations on how to avoid becoming bullies, then this issue will slowly resolve itself.
