Why do most people tease others and make them feel lower then them?

so many reasons - attention, thinking it makes them look "cool", boredom, self esteem issues themselves, jealousy... the list goes on and on.

I think it more indicative of  insecurity, Unfortunately some people feel superior when they are putting down others. Maybe it's a trait they learned during their childhood, or maybe they buy into the "competitive whatever the cost" conditioning that our leaders try to encourage, in the vain hope that the people will never unite for long enough to realize their oppression.\n\nEither way it sucks ;)

They want to see what you made of. they will beat you, harass you, tell you that you'r worth nothing. at the end you will feel worthless. then they will build you up stronger then before.

To some, misery loves company and if they can bring someone down they feel they have made an accomplishment.  Mind you, some answers may come off as sarcastic and may have indeed been meant by the answerer as witty or even cute.  Unfortunately it isn't always this way.  There will always be someone who has something to say and often it makes them feel better about themselves if they think they have lowered someone else's self esteem.\n\nIt doesn't make it morally right but Freedom of Speech has given the right of way to even those who interpret little or no thought into what they say.

I have found that the people who do this, are selfish and feel that everything needs to be centered on them!  They seem to have a very low personal self esteem!  When someone does this to me, I say "Excuse me, but I was not finished and it is considered extremely rude to interupt someone unless it is a dire emergency.  When I am finish YOU can have your say."\nThat usually shuts them up and sometimes they excuse themselves from the conversation!

Because they think if they can make others look bad it makes them look better. Actually they are the ones with the self-esteem problems.

They're trying to change you. It's common for people to try to get under your skin if you're too calm and serene. I don't know why. It's like having an itch. you just have to scratch it.

They are insecure and one of the ways of covering their insecurities is to try and be funny at other people's expense.

It makes most people feel superior. In the real world they probably feel inferior, so they hop onto the Internet and put on their "big boy" pants and exert their frustrations on people they don't know. Don't fret!

there are some people that love to ridicule others and make fun of them but if they would just look in the mirror they may not like what they see.  Different people need love just as we do and in fact some need more, they are special people with special needs.

Children (and some adults too) who tease others are often starved for attention.  This negative activity cannot be untaught, but new positive activity can be.\nFind something that the teaser can do (other than teasing).  Reward the new activity.\nIn the mean time, limit the contact of the teaser from others if possible.  If small group activity is required, always pair the teaser with someone who can hold their own.  If necessary teach the pair interaction of a non-teasing kind.\nTalk with the parents to see if the teasing activity is done at home (or in the neighborhood) as well.  Children often pick up teasing elsewhere and then bring it to school.  Look for signs of abuse, but be cautious, not paranoid.  Don't find stuff which is not really there.

To make up for personal insecurities. They know that people who are kind to them will less likely hurt them if they treat them condescendingly. They then assume that kind people are that way because they lack self esteem and confidence to stand up for themselves. Or they think these people are intimidated by some quality of theirs that they're very proud of.

That sucks. Some people are just mean and have nothing better to do than report others for silly things. I think it makes them feel superior. Sorry they took out their frustrated lives on you.
