What is your opinion on why bullying is so rampant in elementary schools?

Because everyone try and show out in front of others trying to be a followers

Everyone is going through different things whether it relates to puberty, home life etc. Which can cause kids to act out and be mean in some cases. Whereas other cases can lead kids to stay quiet. Also you grow up thinking a certain way or are influenced to think different things about people and whenever your a kid you just want to seem cool and be liked and to be liked sometimes you have to put people down to lift yourself up in this situation. Not that's its correct but it is how it is sometimes as a kid.
