Things I don't get about bullying

Humans are baboons. That's right, baboons, the ugliest, dirtiest, smelliest apes of them all.
The alpha-male balloons are horrible bullies to the young males. They steal their food, smack them around, and stress them out constantly. The alpha-males also rape the females whenever they feel like it.

I once saw this on a National Geographic episode where a group of baboons where being filmed and they were comparing it to human behavior and the negative ways stress has on them. Then one day the alpha-males all got food-poisoning and died. The young males didn't get to eat any of the tainted food because of the greedy alphas so they survived and then instead of becoming the next generation of bully baboons they were actually much nicer and gentler with the females and the younger males.

The show ended asking if we're willing to learn from a bunch of baboons.

Ironically I found the arrogent teenage girls more intimidating than the arrogent teenage boys when I was at secondary school. The girls could be evil, bitchy, threatening, emotionally manipulating and incredibly judgmental and nasty. The boys may be more violent or harrassing, but I still preferred to be bullied by boys than girls as a teenager. You just couldn't impress an arrogent teenage girl at all.

Ok some forms of bullying ARE down to things like wanting the victim to feel upset. But there are some forms of bullying where the bullies are so intense, and it goes on for so long, that the bullies don't have any idea that all this bullying could be making the victim wanting to commit suicide, or building up other negative thoughts and emotions. I mean, any bully doesn't give two damns about the victim's feelings, and if they could really put themselves in the victim's shoes, they would realize that bullying does more damage than they think. Also bullying is selfish. They are bullying a victim for their own entertainment. Some bullies find a person's personal misfortunes funny, for example making fun of a woman who has gone bald due to fighting cancer. I just don't see the empathy in that. I mean, do the people making fun of a cancer fighter's baldness want the woman to feel insecure, or are they just so wrapped up in their mean judgement that they just want their laugh and too oblivious to even think of what that person is going through?

Also, why do some people pick on others just to make themselves feel better about themselves? Do they want to be a mean person? Do they want to be an a***hole? Do they want to be at risk of being beaten up by the victim's friends/family? I'm socially weak, but instead of picking on others weaker, I want to make them feel good about themselves by being friendly or helping them out, and then that makes me feel good about myself. If I was to make a person's life hell just because of my insecurities, I would feel so ashamed of myself. I like to make others who struggle feel accepted.

And one more thing, not all bullies get karma.
