conuly

There was one in my kindergarten class that was extremely mean for the sake of being mean, not as a temporary issue. She hit, kicked, bit, punched, pinched, tripped kids, and generally was a violent little brat... She had been that way in preschool as well -- she would pick out another girl that she felt had "more" than her in some way, and torment them whenever given a chance.

I know most bullies are being bullied in the home... I even instinctively kept trying to be friendly towards her. It didn't work, so I wish I'd been the sort to hit back instead, rather than teaching her that beating up on other little kids makes them act nicely towards you.
