Why aren’t the troublemakers the ones who get bullied in school?

Question

You noticed the real bad kids never get bullied, why?

shaysh87 · Accepted Answer

troublemakers are not necessarily always bullies. You need to understand that bullies like to pick on people becasue they want to feel powerful, it really has nothing to do with you, it has entirely with them wanting to look big and powerful over you. And they're willing to resort to any lengths to make you feel like shit so they feel better and bigger.

Only problem that bullies have with loud, rowdy, troublemakers is:
troublemakers are rebellious, outgoing and are extremely difficult / impossible to boss around/ defeat. troublemakers make it seem like they are the "boss" around their own peers. You can't boss around a kid who knows he's "boss". These kids know how to speak up, fight and defend themselves. Nobody would mess with someone like that.

I used to be a bully victim for a long time. Trust me, the folks who get bullied are always the shy quiet meek ones.

It’s easy not to get bullied, don’t let anyone bully you.
1. Don’t be scared.
2. Respect yourself.
3. Be bold, and make troubles when needed.
4. Let them see they should respect you. Be respectable.
5. If someone tries to bully you - either laugh it off to let them see they can’t hurt you, or ignore them or bully them harder.

I would personally laugh about it cause I can’t imagine anyone bullying me, it’s all about attitude.

The reason troublemakers don’t get bullied is that bullies see them as someone who won’t be affected by their words, someone who is not scared of them at all.

This is from a girl all the guys, including the bullies - liked and respected in high school and all the girls tried to copy her. And I was not a bully.

I was a straight A student who liked making troubles when she was not busy studying.

Troublemakers depending on how they cause trouble are usually entertainers.
There are 2 types.
Those that cause trouble to cause harm. Can be seen as a form of bullying. Who is going to combat that when they can 1-up a bully.
The second is the prankster/joker. Can be annoying yes but they provide entertainment through their actions. Usually harmless bullies wouldn't normally go for those types of people because what would you get in return. again they can 1-up the bully.

Because bullies usually aren't the low status ape. One reason their egos are so high is because they're probably higher status ape or ape that is more capable in things highly valued. Providing other ape with less inscentive to be rude to bully ape.

BirdieBeep · Answer

The answer is really simple - because most bullies prey on the weak. They pick targets that have the least chance of fighting back - kids that are small, quiet, timid, weak. Often kids that are obedient and don't get in trouble. Because those are the easiest to get to comply with the bully's "authority". They don't want to pick on kids who rebel against authority, because most of the time those fight back.

MrOracle · Answer

Bullies pick on kids who can't or won't fight back. The whole point is that it's a low-risk, high-reward behavior for them. A trouble-maker type would put the smack down on some kid trying to bully him the very first time, which is why those kids don't get bullied (at least, not by kids their own age/size - they might get bullied by someone bigger and older).

Besides, it's often the troublemakers who are DOING the bullying.

Apulu_3 · Answer

Trouble makers aren't bullied because they are only the school bully. However in my school I'm the school's Mafia queen and bully trouble makers lol. Usually the nerds don't have the power or courage to fight back and the bad kids don't mess with the powerful ones so the powerful ones don't bother to get involved in bully system and risk their academics while the nerds can't punish their bully even if they want to. Bully or the trouble makes therefore stay free.

myabe123 · Answer

I was a troublemaker, but was bullied horrendously before I was friends with them. I was 15 and my childhood bestfriend left me death letters. I became depressed and acted out because of it. I could have spiraled but I one day got the hell over it and pulled myself out of my teenage misery and pseudo mature behavior and became a normal middle class citizen.

dustybiker · Answer

You stand up to them strongly and they always flee. Bullies are cowards. (And they aren’t going to admit getting knocked down in the past) You just have to find the right approach to each type of bully.

TsAubreyKate · Answer

Because we were never at school and if we were the fire alarm went off and a bathroom or band room was on fire basically because we get suspended a lot and skipped so we couldn’t be bullied and ya know when you’re committing felonies in middle school no bully in highschool first choice is a 6,1 180lb freshman with an ankle brace

RawIronhide · Answer

Bullies are insecure at their core, that's why they back down as soon as you stand up for yourself. It's the quiet people, don't fuck with the quiet people.

Bad kids are the baddest of the field. As long no one tries them, they remain the ones in charge. And teachers... don't notice a thing. And if they do...*shrug*

Because the troublemakers are usually intimidating like looks bigger and stronger than them, so if they did bully them they would get beat up, that's why they don't do it, I bullied people a lot of times and they didn't bully back, because bullies are intimidating. 😈

Dargil · Answer

They have their herd on their side, which gives them confidence. My solution was to identify the "ring leader", hunt him down alone and do him extreme harm without witnesses.

They're either cool, the bullies themselves or bullies know they're gonna give back harder than they get so they have some level of respect for them.

I don’t want them to be afraid to flip my burgers when they graduate so I don’t bully them back. Someone has to clean up the jizz in an adult theater.

Because if you tried to beat them up they will pull a knife on you and stab you through the neck.
