L is for LOSER!

Bullies

• have a strong need to control others;
• fear that they are not in control, and mask the sense of inadequacy by being a bully;
• are often ignored by their parents, who don't notice what's going on or know much about themsee threats; where none exist, [a]nd they take these imagined threats as provocations to strike back;
• tend to attribute hostile intentions to other[s] who actually mean them no harm.
