Most everyone was picked on at some point in their youth, and some people are still picked on, even as adults. But in other instances, the child could have helped to eliminate the teasing by changing their look, dressing better, etc. From my experience, I can t really profile the type of person who is a teaser. Lots of different types of people enjoy teasing, from time to time, including adults. With kids and adults alike, it gives people something to laugh at, and it helps relieve stress, especially when the target of the abuse doesn t do anything about it.
Bullies are a different story.
With women, the bully type was usually of small stature, very lacking in confidence and self- esteem, and often quite ugly and obnoxious. Again, I think the impulse to bully was to prove themselves, and to get back at the world. For myself, I was rarely picked on as a child. I had an occasional run- in with kids who were much older and larger than I was, and there was little I could do about it. But, by and large, people left me alone.
