Bullying is when people are not nice. It is when someone makes another person feel bad for an invalid reason. Bullying includes the total absence of Empathy for another person. Bullying is acting in a way that erodes another persons self concept. A person who bullies is counter productive to a group dynamic.
Sometimes bullying is used to gain friends or popularity. Sometimes bullying tactics are used to get people to do stuff. Bullying used to get people to do stuff, causes unhealthy stress and may be counter productive.
Each and every person has a different background, from which they have observed, experienced, and learned behavior. This most likely, will influence how people will act in new situations.
The more education one has, the more environments and experiences one may draw on to help determine how to interact with others.
So how do we help others when it is perceived that they are being a bully.
1. Tell them that they're behavior is being perceived as bullying.
2. Explain what bullying is.
3. Provide them with knowledge and examples of what is acceptable behavior is.
4. Teach them to be empathetic people.

perhaps one can be empathetic, but not sympathetic, and still be a bully.
