Bullies bully people as a way to compensate and hide bad feelings they are experiencing. These bad feelings come from 2 main sources:

1. The bully feels bad because they have low self-esteem and want to feel better about themselves; or
2. The bully is unable to appropriately deal with emotions such as anger, resentment, annoyance, jealousy, etc. which they feel toward the target or someone else in their life and bullying is a quick and easy way to push those bad feelings onto someone else.

Both of these issues can be considered signs of mental and emotional immaturity — so, to over-simplify things a little:
… bullies are basically just immature brats who need to grow up!
