I don't know if anyone is ever really going to get to the base of what causes bullying behavior, but my own personal opinion of what feeds it is mob mentality. How of ten do others really do anything to stop the bullying?
In a setting with young people, it is often easier for others to watch and do little or nothing to stop bullying against others. Likely because if one has a fear of being bullied as long as someone else is the target, it takes the sights off them. We become accustomed to this behavior and carry it into adulthood. We like to believe we are they type of person to come to the defense of another, but we may not do this as often as we think we would.
Of course this is just my opinion and has no basis in scientific testing, just observations from my roaming the Earth for 43 years.
