This paper reports an attempt to increase our understanding of adolescents who exhibit bullying behaviour, by focusing on their self‐perceptions. The findings, which confirm those in the literature, establish that the typical bully has a relatively positive self‐concept in the social domain and in self‐esteem. It is proposed that these findings have implications for early preventative approaches to bullying. These may include an awareness of how temperament traits might interact with a child's environment to produce certain behaviours, including a tendency to bully. Parenting programmes may be a suitable vehicle, and it is also posited that parenting styles and basic elements of child development may be included in ante‐natal care
