No. It is never the victims fault, it is never your fault that your right to feel: safe loved and happy are being violated. The only way it is you fault is if you know all that, know you have the courage to change it, but you don't.

Bullying is never the victim's fault. Bullies should be held, and often are, accountable for their actions. Like anyone else, they have the gift of self-control. Whether they decide to use it or not is up to them.

It's never your fault. Bullying isn't a sensical act to begin with. There isn't a niche or a single type of people who get bullied. But there's a type of people who tend to unfairly treat people and bully them, and the key word here is unfairly.

Absolutely not! Your job as a human being is to be an individual and express your uniqueness. Anyone who criticizes you for that is merely insecure in their own self. Rock on and be you!

It mostly is, yes. You can't control people that bully you but you CAN control whether or not it bothers you.

No, it is the bullies own insecurities.
