Why Are Buses So Conducive to Bullying?

The closed environment of the school bus also spurs bullies to ask their victims repeated questions and try to force some kind of response. Without the mob having an opportunity to gather so easily around a trapped person, it?s likely the verbal onslaught of Klein wouldn?t have lasted as long as it did. As is apparent in the video, even a 68-year-old grandmother can feel compelled to respond to abuse in this situation. One kid asks: ?Karen, are you sweating? Why is there water on your face?? Klein answers that she is ?crying all over.? Another child says, ?She probably misses her box of Twinkies.? This taunt leads them all to start asking her, ?Do you miss your Twinkies?? They continue to pepper her with questions: ?Where do you live, Karen?? ?What size bra are you?? ?How about I bring my knife out and cut you?? ?Why are you looking at me like that, do you want to rape me?? ?Karen, how much was that purse?? She answers the question about the purse, and they tell her that it indicates how poor she is. They later mock her for her son?s suicide after she attempts to respond to another taunt.
