Stan Davis and Charisse Nixon did a study involving almost 12000 5th-12th grade students about bullies and what they focus on. Students were given a survey and were allowed to answer more than once. Fifty five percent of those students said when they were bullied it was because of thier looks and 37 percent of these students said it was because of their body shape . Bullies realize that looks and body shape are usually the main aspect of peoples insecurities, and tend to target those characteristics more.
Bullies also harass anyone that is a minority that is in any way, shape, or form out of the ordinary. If your family is very wealthy, your seen as the snobby rich kid, or very poor your the poor kid who wears the same thing everyday. If your lesbian or gay, you are treated as a freak and seen as disgusting. Only African American kid at school, your automatically a gangster. Bullies pinpoint your differences and judge you because of them.
