    Introduction

    This book is going to talk about one of the most common activities found in human behavior. This is a natural instinct to intimidate, act aggressively and try to cow down the people around you, to show that you are the dominant Alpha person around. This is normally done through threatening, coercion and abusing, and the use of force, either physical or mental or emotional. This book is going to talk about the psychology behind bullying, the reason why people want to do it, how to face it, and survive it, and how to recognize this tendency in other people.

    This book is for all those who have felt the negative impact of bullying, at least sometime during their childhood our youth, or perhaps taken part in a mob or a group activity of bullying somebody, just because everybody else was doing it, or just for the fun of it. Sadly enough, that last activity is getting to be more and more common among the younger generation, because it fulfills a desire in them to be considered a part of a social whole, or part of a peer group.

    Nevertheless, this has never been a 21st-century phenomenon, it has been present when the world was young and it is going to be present 10 millenniums from now in some form or the other.

    Bullying down the ages has never been restricted to just one race or social class or gender. It is instinctive, and human beings have always looked for soft targets, which they can harass physically or verbally, through threat, mental and physical assault and even force or coercion. The victims are normally going to be people different from them, in matters of physical appearance, gender, race, social class, strength, ability, behavior or any other factor, which can be used as an excuse to intimidate a person more helpless than you are.

    Man doesn’t need an excuse to bully a person weaker than he is. The underlying instinct for showing that he is a person of power, especially over somebody who cannot fight back or who is incapable of doing so satisfies some uncivilized atavistic feeling in him, which has been passed down, down the ages, and no amount of civilized behavior is going to get this instinct out of Mans’ genes.

This is a natural instinct to intimidate, act aggressively and try to cow down the people around you, to show that you are the dominant Alpha person around. This is normally done through threatening, coercion and abusing, and the use of force, either physical or mental or emotional.

      This book is for all those who have felt the negative impact of bullying, at least sometime during their childhood our youth, or perhaps taken part in a mob or a group activity of bullying somebody, just because everybody else was doing it, or just for the fun of it. Sadly enough, that last activity is getting to be more and more common among the younger generation, because it fulfills a desire in them to be considered a part of a social whole, or part of a peer group.

      Nevertheless, this has never been a 21st-century phenomenon, it has been present when the world was young and it is going to be present 10 millenniums from now in some form or the other.

      Bullying down the ages has never been restricted to just one race or social class or gender. It is instinctive, and human beings have always looked for soft targets, which they can harass physically or verbally, through threat, mental and physical assault and even force or coercion. The victims are normally going to be people different from them, in matters of physical appearance, gender, race, social class, strength, ability, behavior or any other factor, which can be used as an excuse to intimidate a person more helpless than you are.

      Man doesn’t need an excuse to bully a person weaker than he is. The underlying instinct for showing that he is a person of power, especially over somebody who cannot fight back or who is incapable of doing so satisfies some uncivilized atavistic feeling in him, which has been passed down, down the ages, and no amount of civilized behavior is going to get this instinct out of Mans’ genes.

      Bullying is never restricted to one race, gender, creed or religion. It is universal. Anybody can be bullied, if he is considered different from other members of his peer group.

      I was lucky that I never knew about bullying, through our childhood, because our teachers were very strict and so were our parents. Any sort of intimidation by our peers or by older children was nipped at the bud by very observant and tough parents. That was the time and corporal punishment was considered to be a normal part of chastisement, especially discipline, so if a parent spanked a neighbor’s child, who was caught bullying any other children, the irate parents of the disciplined child did not bring in the police and yell child abuse. It is only in the last 30 years, that parents in many countries in the West are so terrified of disciplining their children, that they are allowing them to go scot-free, literally getting away with murder. That is because the neighbors, the social workers, and the police are all going to come down hard upon them just because a child was administered a tight slap to prevent him from beating up another helpless little child.

      So who is the bully here? Adults are bullying adults and terrifying them to behave and follow civilized conventions. While children know that they have plenty of leeway to go their own way, because they are not going to be disciplined. And so they can get away with the using of threats, intimidation, and aggressive behavior, force habitually and repeatedly, and nobody is there to stop them. And so they grow up into undisciplined adults who still continue their infantile immature behavior because they know that they can get away with murder, literally and figuratively.

      It was only at college that I was subjected to bullying for the first time, which was considered to be a part of college life, and called Ragging. It was the initiation ceremony of the juniors being welcomed into the college by the seniors. Nowadays, ragging has taken on a vicious form in colleges, with bullies abusing their juniors physically, and also causing death in the number of cases in some professional colleges. Telling a junior to dance on a high roof’s parapet is not normal ragging, it is vicious abnormal psychotic behavior.

      Nevertheless, in our time, ragging was good-humored, and we danced, sang, imitated
