> But shouldn't the anger be directed to the people who did the bullying?

Yes, but bear in mind the world does not necessarily pity the bullied. When it happened to me and my friends in school, we were shunned and snickered at by seemingly "everyone" at the time, girls especially. Teachers didn't care either.

That kind of confuses me. Not sure why it's relevant? :)

Because instead of finding solace outside of the abusive situation, one often finds more abuse. It’s very easy to misdirect that anger to others.
I just was commenting on directing anger at the perpetrators, that to a young mind it can feel like "everyone is a part of it".
