53. The behavior of bullies is not one of those things.

The bullied kid generally hasn't done anything to encourage the behavior, other than exist. The problem is the bullies. Maybe they should take some classes that will improve their confidence, because if they had any genuine self-esteem they wouldn't tear down other kids to make themselves feel better.

Trying to change the bullied kid teaches them that it's their fault. Which, aside from being bullshit, constitutes further bullying from the adults they should be able to trust.
