I believe bullies have family problems. or it could be they just want to show-off their power.

Bullies usually result from irresponsible parenting or they are simply influenced from the environment they were subjected to when young. People often think that bullies are strong, no they are not. They are just somebody else's victim. They themselves experienced bullying or abuse from someone, may it be their parents, their brother or just anybody. in an attempt to escape the notion that they are weak and fragile and vulnerable, they turn into someone weaker usually in school or in a community such as your normal neighborhood. They try to bully other kids to affirm to themselves that they are not weak and even confident around other kids. This cycle goes on from father to son, and when the son becomes a father himself he might have the tendency to produce another bully if he himself cannot face those issues from the past. i think we can do change a bully by determining its cause, from then some steps may then be taken but i guess it would be difficult for some to face their own issues, but they are not hopeless i suppose.
