"Many people wonder why kids and teens bully each other online? For all of the same reasons kids (and even adults) bully others in person:

To gain positive attention and social standing.
To feel powerful.
Because they're angry at a friend.
Because they meant to tease and it became serious.
Because they were bullied by someone else.

Sometimes, kids begin by teasing each other, and things ramp up. Also, since tween and teen friendships sometimes change quickly, hurt feelings can lead to cyberbullying. Often, bullying comes from a place of pain, powerlessness, and insecurity, though it doesn't look like that on the surface. Kids who are reacting in anger may intend to hurt someone, but sometimes bullies aren't focused at all on the pain they're causing and are mostly motivated by the acceptance and power the bullying might give them."
