Why are some children so mean?

My daughter is around children who can be really mean to her. Sometimes to the point of her crying. She usually is a pretty tuff kid but these children can be just awful. Why are some kids just so mean.

Answer:
Because they was not raised right by their parents. I was taught and taught my child the same way and that is to be good to those who are good to her. And never make fun or bully less fortunate child or one that has disabilities. Parents are children's role models and I Can bet that those kid's parents are the same way around people they know. And are raised to be mean or you are weak.
They do it because they are insecure and think that picking on others makes them big shots. They cover their own short comings by pointing out those of others so they feel better about themselves. That, and their parents don't give them enough attention, most likely.
Children that are bullies are usually this way because they come from abusive homes were they see dad being mean to mom and even (most cases) towards the child. So the best way to express them selves is threw picking on their kids.usually smaller kids.
Because they are just learning about social behaviors. Many aren't inately mean, but they have found a way to 'control' another person with their mean behavior. Most children will seek avenues of control. Some can control their parents. Some can control their peers. Some get enough control out of video games. I see the worst little girls in school mirror their mother's behaviors.
I have no Idea. I am in 6th grade people are mean. I get teased to sometimes. All kids do get teased.

I respect some kids in my school..They'd beat me up. But they dont be that mean to me, anyways. Once I was almost beat up by one of them. But its okay right now..
I know exactly what your going through! I tell my daughter try to be tougher and she says she doesn't want to change her ways to being ugly just becuz they act that way.In school i always told kids where to go and she just holds it in and sometimes gets to the point of crying.One day she came to me and said mom ya know that girl that I said is mean.I said yeah.She said I understand now why she's so awful.I seen her mom and she doesn't pay any attention to her. A friend of of hers told her that the girl gets to do pretty much whatever. Kids need us to give them structure.Sure they'll ***** about it and they'll complain about how we interfere in thier lives.But we are there and they will never forget that,It's our constant presence that will eventually help them be strong enough to overcome the bullies.And then teach thier children what we have taught them.
there parents, they want to boss people around. there parents could be mean to them. there is millions of reasons why. report to the teacher or the principle about it.
its normal especially among children, kids can be very mean sometimes they just dont know any better, most kids grow out of the mean stage...some kids r raised with violence in the home and that is how they think the world is...
Parental UpBringing.. If a parent isnt telling there children right from wrong and let them get away with everything you get bad kids... Is what im seein alot with kids who are mean.. Itz up to us parents to tell our children when they do wrong. Us as parents need to talk to our children and listen then confront other parents on their childrens behaviours. If the parent gets in your face and can't take the truth then u got your answer for why that kid is such a bully..

I've been there and done it i dont know how many times and found most of the time its the parents themselves that are messed up. If itz not the parents then at least the parents know then that there child needs help and can get help for that child if they're responsable.
