If the target of abuse could easily rip them apart if it wanted and the kids ''know'' it, then they're BullyingADragon (not to mention TooDumbToLive). And even if the target of abuse is not superpowered at the time, just wait until the BullyMagnet who UsedToBeASweetKid undergoes a StartOfDarkness, possibly as a result of the cruelty of other kids, and goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge, often at a point when the bullies themselves have forgotten the whole thing.

Aside from "it should be worth noting" being needless natter, there's no need to say not ALL kids are cruel. Anyone who has ever been around more than a single child would know this. Plus, there's already potholes to Rosseau was right earlier. The bits about child sociopaths are over the top, and the bit about adult antiheroes with stubble is...weird, to say the least.

The PsychopathicManchild combines this trope with being a physical adult, having a 'grown-up' with a childlike cruelty to them. AdultsAreUseless for when the majority, if not, all the bullying occurs all the time because the adults ignore it, are oblivious or, in a few extreme instances, actively encourage it out of a sadistic desire to see the victim suffer.

Of course, one of the causes of this trope in real life is explained in Developmental Psych. It's called ego-centralism and until a child reaches a certain point in their mental development they don't understand that their actions can hurt others even though they are not hurt themselves. Unfortunately, another cause of this trope in real life is that a child who fits the trope is often himself being bullied [[AbusiveParents by his parents]] [[SadistTeacher or by some other adult authority figure]].
It should be worth noting, however, that [[RousseauWasRight not all Kids are Cruel]], and there are in fact some out there who show shades of ChildrenAreInnocent territory due to naturally being in need of adult protection and maintaining a good-natured demeanor.

* ''Series/CobraKai:'' Played painfully straight by Kyler and Yasmine. They have no issues with bullying others ForTheEvulz (at least until TheDogBitesBack).
** Season 3 (when TheBusCameBack for both of them) sees her all but moving on from this trope, while he continues to play it absolutely straight. Best demonstrated in how each of them deals with Demetri (GiveGeeksAChance versus KickThemWhileTheyAreDown).
* Catbug from ''WebAnimation/BravestWarriors'' is naive and child-like. As a result, he doesn't quite understand right and wrong. Due to this, episodes have dealt with him being both a kleptomaniac and a murderer.
** The New Miami City Hackers were a group of kids who teased Danny relentlessly as a kid, inventing a remote that made him throw up on command.
