Difference in Ages

Why do people always think that just because their older, they can pick on the the people who are younger than them. I mean, come on. Really. It's not everyone but mostly. A couple days ago I saw some 8th graders picking on a 6th grader(I think it was a 6th grader) and pushing her around. I said if they didn't like it when they were younger, why are they doing it now. And they snorted and said "You wouldn't understand." I looked at the one who spoke and said "Little girl I'm a high schooler I understand it better then you." She just huffed, took her friends and left. Is it supposed to be the circle of life or something? You experience something bad, so others have to feel the way you did? I say cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it.
