Why do bullies find it necessary to pick with the quiet folk?

because theres a fair chance the quiet ones wont say anything back to them or tell a teacher about them

Because we quiet folk are awesome and the bullys wish they could be as independent its a hater thang with the bullys

Because they are cowards who can only deal with someone weaker than themselves. They are not brave enough to mess with tough ones.

Bullies are insecure in nature and they want to extend their insecurity to someone who isn't going to come and bite them off

Bullies pick on quiet folk because they wont stand up for themselves like wolves they hunt in packs otherwise they would lose their power.

Bullies are often insecure themselves, so they look for people that they think are insecure too. Quiet folk are not always insecure even if bullies think so. The best way to combat bullies is to show them that their actions do not affect you and that you are strong.

They do this because they feel you are vulnerable and you give the image that you won't fight back. So what you can do is stand up taller, keep your head high, show confidence. If people bully you, fight back. You can get in their face and they will be so surprised they might stop bullying you. False confidence is better than no confidence.

Bullies feel the need to pick on the quiet kids because those are the ones that will cause the least amount of trouble about it. Most quiet kids that are bullied will stay silent about it, and will never say anything. Bullies know this and will exploit it as much s they can.

In my opinion it's because they have nothing else better to do, have no life and need to grow up. I grew up as a shy girl especially in school and I was being bullied everyday. One day outta nowhere enough became enough for me and I just stood up for myself and they were shocked. Don't get me wrong it didn't keep anyone from picking with me on down the line, but it got better.

They want to pick on someone who's weaker and will be less likely to fight back, and if you're quiet and introverted you're less likely to be with other people, which means you're less likely to have allies to back you up.

Bullies have nothing to do. They bully people in order to be pleased by seeing someone feel bad. You don't have to worry about them. You've to worry about people that get bullied and help them out.

I wouldn’t say “necessary” more like an easy target. Because for one, many bullies might find that the quiet ones are easier to target, because they might not be able to speak up for themselves. I know personally that lots of bullies get jealous and pick on the quiet ones to boost the ego that they don’t have, they do that to make themselves feel better and make the quieter ones feel worse, which is obviously isn’t right, but bullies also pick on them because they also might be the “odd ones” or the “loners” so they feel like the quiet ones are an easy target.

Bullies find it necessary to pick with the quiet folk because they think the quiet folk would not tell anyone about it, or that the quiet folk doesn't have any feelings, when, in reality, the quiet folk most certainly does.

I think people feel that quiet people are more weak and since they're usually not popular, they don't have anyone to stand up for them and they won't stand up for themselves either. They also usually don't have a large influence on the people around them so the bullies don't have to fear getting in trouble with groups.

Most bullies have had someone bully them in the past. Which probably made them feel weak, so in order to appear strong, they bully other people. The quiet folk are the least likely to argue back and therefore are an easy target for bullies to appear strong.

I think that bullies have insecurities and have some how learned that behavior. It is often an attention getter. They often pick on the quiet kids because they feel as if they will not stand up or speak up for themselves. This is not always the case though.

Most of the time bullies don't know what they're doing. They can't live with themselves alone and need someone else to fule their life. And someone who is not very outspoken and difficult is alot easier to deal with.

Because they think the quiet person will just allow them to do it and the won't say anything........

Bullies find it necessary to pick with the quiet folk because bullies themselves are weak individuals that cannot act on those that will "make a big deal" out of the bullying act. They see quiet people as weak people and therefore they become targets, even when quietness is a kind of strength, a kind of barrier, within itself.

Bullies think the quiet are the easiest targets. They won't go after someone that they think can beat them. Bullies want to ake people afraid of them and they won't look for a challenge.
