You shouldn't make such assumptions. Sometimes bullies gain power not because of superiority in size and strength, but simply by using mind games. I've seen kids being bullied by other kids who are the same size.

I'm not, if you read my post, I said:That's the thing - bullies generally have superior power or influence over those that they are bullying.
If someone is superior intellectually, or socially, they can also bully - that's what you see more often in girl on girl bullying. It's not physical but mental bullying. Read Queen Bees and Wannabes, interesting book on female bullying and adolescent power struggles of girls.
