There are times when people are bullied as a result of their inability to fight back. The physically weaker the individual, the more likely he or she will be bullied.

However, a lot of this power difference disappears in adulthood with the rough stabilization of physical size and matching (with the exception that it relates to men and women). There are also increased penalties in adulthood for those who continue to use physical intimidation.
