The Bully's side of the story

I've come to realise that bullies actually have a psychological problem which causes them to do what they do. The problem more than likely stem from a troubled upbringing, lack of attention, even abuse. The victim is often envied for their perceived 'great life' or possessions or relationships with parents or close friends, even their school performance.

Jealousy is a very toxic emotion which could easily spiral out of control.

If someone is jealous of you and bullies you, you should not let this stop you from living your life normally. Don't give over your power to anyone and don't let their jealousy get the better of your behaviour and self-esteem.

Remember they don't even realise why they do what they do and therefore they have no right to be in charge of you. Hard as it may be - keep going where you go and keep doing what you are doing.

Whoever envies another confesses his superiority. ~Samuel Johnson, The Rambler
