On the contrary, other kids are accustomed to being shyer and following what they are told, and they are just some of the kids that could be victims for bullying. Adults can experience negative put downs in the workplace. People who have grown up their whole lives feeling like they are superior to others are more likely to be the ones who enjoy feeling on top of others. You will probably meet a lot of bosses that act this way, and that is why they are your boss, to keep you in check with what you are supposed to be doing.
