Some of you already know that I'm a cognitive behavioral therapist, and so I've been asked tonight to speak about how to prevent bullying in schools. But it's really not that simple. So I don't want to rattle off statistics here . I want to address the root causes of bullying, and talk about what motivates that behavior. It often comes from a deep-seated lack of stability. A ground that was never really solid. And yet, unsurprisingly, those who've been bullied are more than likely going to become bullies themselves. They want to inflict pain on others, mostly because they don't want to feel the pain. Perhaps they try to distract you through intimidation or lies, so you don't see their truth, their guilt, their own shame. It's deeply embedded from their history, their experiences, even their upbringing. And lastly,there's the ones who want power, because they just don't want to feel powerless any longer. They need an outlet. To really have power, one must have it over something or someone. But it's never really about that person, that situation. Those people who truly desire power, are actually only trying to control one thing, themselves.
