"Bullies are smart"
Some bullies have a verbal trick and that makes people think they are clever. It's not intelligence really; it's more about believable lies. Bullies can manipulate some of the less clued-up adults. This is one reason why hitting back is not the answer - the bully will change themselves into the victim and pretend to adults that they are the one being bullied.
"Bullies are tough people and we need tough people to run society"
At least six out of ten bullies go on to become criminals - u could say they are running, but it's not the society.
"Bullies are popular"
Bullies don't have friendships based on trust and mutual respect. Some kids hang with the bully because it lets them act like bullies themselves but most children side with a bully because they are afraid of being bullied.
"Bullies have high self-esteem"
Bullies express only the negative. Negative flows are typical of low self-esteem and emotional immaturity. Those people who see high self-esteem are reading it all wrong. Arrogance, narcissism, lord'n it through fear, total self love and regard... this is not self-esteem!
