Bullies and their victims come in every size, shape, and ethnicity and from every social and economic class.
Bullying is linked to low self-esteem on the part of both the bully and the victim. That is because a person will only be affected and become the “victim” if that person has depressed self-esteem and becomes mentally and/or emotionally hurt by the comments or behavior of the bully.

Finn is introduced as quarterback of the William McKinley High School football team.
