When I was in high school I was the weird kid. I liked Pokemon, I didn't understand music, I didn't understand sports, I was the weird kid.

I that school there were a lot of people who called themselves "rebels" and "nonconformists". They were the punks and gangstas. They din't call me a rebel though, they called me a "freak". One of them even called me a "tool" for going to the authorities for support.

All my life I have noticed that most people who call themselves "rebels" and "nonconformists" bully people who are more different than they are. It's very confusing.

Why does any bully act like a bully?

It's no different just because the bully and the victim belong to another group.

I myself think bullies are usually insecure twits and try to exert some power and control over others because they lack it in themselves or their own lives.

I don't know. It's some sort of turn-based card battle game.

The scope of my knowledge of Pokemon is a handful of Pokemon names and recognition of the major characters. I worked at Burger King when the movie Pokemon 2000 came out so I was subject to their "marketing."

I think Pikachu is cute.

Oh and there's this...

The folk who bullied people at my school did so in gangs (not proper ones, just groups of people) and so were far from nonconformist. They all dressed the same and acted the same and so didn't like anyone who wasn't like them.

I was one of the 'weird' kids at school and hung around with about 30 other people who were lovely but even weirder- the typical World of Warcraft guys, poets and metalheads. Can't count how many times I've been called an emo, goth, jitter, freak, etc and had footballs booted at me and my friends at lunchtimes.

But really there will always be those who bully others in order to display dominance and gain social power. If they aren't secure enough in themselves then they will lash out in order to avoid anyone trying to lash out at them first. Taking on the 'freaks' is always the best bet as they're thought to be the weakest and easiest to make an example of.

Of course when said freaks like playing with swords in their spare time that doesn't always go down well
