I think bullying comes from a person's feeling of self-worth, and so what you do is you find out where you are in a totem pole, and you may slide in somewhere in the middle. So you say, "OK, well there's all these other people who I respect and admire, and there's all these people below me, so I'm going to put on them this sense that they're inferior and I'm going to belittle them, and that's going to raise my stature."
Rib HillisIf you feel like you're not where you want to be in your life, rather than step on someone else's, raise your stature.
Rib HillisEven though [bullying] doesn't actually raise your stature, it might make you feel that way.
Rib HillisPicking on another person in their mind justifies and makes their stature higher. People do it interracially. It's amazing how every race, every culture seems to have a culture they pick on.
