15. That's what I mean. They felt "entitled."

I know I'm going out on a limb by introducing racism and bigotry into the equation but it was a "duh" sort of realization for me.

They pick on kids because they feel superior to them in some way. Feeling entitled and superior to someone because they are different in terms of appearance, socioeconomic status, religion, intellect, etc., is a form of bigotry as I understand the word.
