people dont give a toss for background stories. they refuse to empathise. cuz either they cant for lack of maturity, or they wont, cuz it hurts sometimes. but not as much as they hurt others by their actions. if a bully feels insecure, maybe cuz someone is different, or cuz that person is aloof and gives off the impression they think theyre better than them (even if the opposite is true) they will pick on them mercilessley to protect their ego. the ones who empathise, or the ones in the vulnerable position, are always the ones who end up worst off. that is why some refuse to, and ignore the fact that the person they are ganging up on is human.
