Bullies are created from homes with larger bullies
Understanding them will not stop them
Logic will not change their upbringing
Loving them is difficult, you may be rebuffed.
It is sad they grew up thinking this is the way of the world.
Exceptions are out there, but many bullies retain their status
Society despises them and so do their neighbors

Caren, I just re-read your poem for the umpteenth time. So good! I was thinking about the film "The Power of the Dog" that was up for an Academy Award. It was about bullying...among other things. You'd probably like it. I did.

A true write. As a child, I thought it was kid stuff. Then as an adult I found out they never grew up. It all starts as a kid. So wrong and so sad. Have a great day...............

This is so true, Caren! Whenever I see a young bully (in my grandkids’ world), I knew exactly how that child will be as an adult. I always hope I’m wrong…

I fear you are not wrong.
