On Bullying

When night sky is the darkest Stars twinkle the most When bullies are harshest You feel like you’re toast! When tears come quickly Tenderness is your lot -- Some may think you sickly Real strength they know not, They are showing jealousy You have what they want So, they treat you hellishly Bullies so love to flaunt Their imagined abilities Walking exaggerated jaunt While you have superlatives And see no reason to taunt.

This explains bullying exactly right " They are showing jealousy You have what they want So, they treat you hellishly Bullies so love to flaunt"

Every word is true about those who are not content with themselves, so they pick on those who seem weak. Doesn't happen that way with your handling of bullies.
