Finally someone questions the existence of the school. It's importance seems very out of place, it serves no purpose to the tower so, why? The bullies are the center of my attention, it was gnawing at me for a long time. WHY DO THEY EXIST?! Why teach porcelain children. There are children like Six, and Mono. Well the population of children kinda stops there, doesn't it? Other than the glitchy remains of deceased children, there are no other children seen alive. I find this important because (tho for important reasoning) there were children in the Maw, live children. The Pale City has the Bullies, fake children, the Bullies are porcelain children, dolls made to mimick the idea of children. As we see in the game the Bullies do have somewhat childlike behavior, all be it rowdy, even playing jump rope. But why, why imitate children? I don't think it's only for the Teacher's obsession for her profession, or at least I don't think it started out that way. I have reason to believe that the citizens of the Pale City had children at one point. Think about it, there had to have been children in this city at one point, it's a city for crying out loud! Perhaps the glitchy remains we see in the game weren't just passersby, but former citizens of the Pale City. But what happened to them? Perhaps they all died due to a similar cause, like an illness, the children of little nightmares do seem quite thin, and Six does seem to have a cough, maybe the children in the Maw are dying naturally? Or maybe it's something more sinister, if the Pale City did have children at some point, there are no longer children now, and the civilians seem to be hostile to children, we can insinuate what happened to their children. Gruesome. Did this happen during the transformation of the tower? Well the Pale City's lighting is colored blue, a color associated with sadness and grieving. The entire environment seems to be grieving, and it is possible that every boss we see is grieving someone or something in some way. Let's read the official description of the Viewers, "The Viewers live life through the screen and cannot imagine a world without it. All those wonderful colours, sounds and shapes, dancing before their eyes, mesmerising them, pacifying them, fattening them up. The Transmission gives them all they need, and demands only one thing in return..." this quote mentioned a price that the Transmission requires, while this could be their life force, I believe it may have somehow been their children, and their lifestyle is a result of their grieving. Using inanimate materials to fill the void of loss is a common problem we can find in our own society. It's familiar enough so that we can understand. Now let's look at the patients, "The Patients cannot live with their selves. They look in the mirror and hate what stares back. Seeing nothing but the flaws and ugliness of nature, they beg The Doctor to fix them, to work his magic, and make them whole again." Now this could be seen as just a distaste for their looks as it suggests, but this could be more than just that. The patients "cannot live with themselves", I don't know about anyone else but this insinuates guilt to me, and in the context of this theory, this guilt can mean multiple things. When people we are close to die sometimes we tend to blame ourselves, ask what we could have done more, maybe this is what the patients are doing, or perhaps this is more sinister and implies direct guilt. If we remember that the transmission deforms people into the worse version of themselves, if the patients committed an awful crime against their children then that would reflect in their deformed appearance. Maybe the patients were the parents of these children and even further deformed by their grief/guilt, thus leading them to seek out the doctor, to fill the void, to "make them whole again." And to conclude my theory, the Bullies. I think the Bullies were a failed attempt to replace the children of the citizens. Clearly the Bullies are annoying demons, so they were sent to the Teacher, as implied by the beds in the school the Bullies reside in a boating school, commonly known to shape rowdy kids into discipline youths. If these Bullies are imitating children then we have to assume they have parents. Maybe the "parents" of these Bullies were hoping the discipline of the Teacher would shape the Bullies into suitable children for them. But that didn't happen...
