Whomever authored the story never heard of Scut Farcus
Should say “conceit” rather than self-esteem.
True bullies are probably at the low end of the sociopath continuum. They have little conscience or empathy so what’s to be depressed about.
A study done years ago showed black gang members had the highest self esteem in high schools...
Doesn’t quite fit the ‘pity party’ meme...
Can we assume the New York Times and Washington Post won’t touch this story with a ten foot pole?
Yep.

Bullies and criminal all have high self-esteem (they think highly of themselves for no reason other that they exist), whereas self-respect is earned and builds a solid core upon which adult are born.
Slight a “self-esteem’ baby and all heck break loose. . .slight a self-respect guy and he shrugs it off and goes on with life.
Yes. I meant to post self-respect (not self-worth) in my response where I wrote they don't have high self-worth. I misspoke (mis-typed?). Thank you.
