Bullying serves a vital role in curbing aberrant social behavior in developing children and teenagers.

How does bullying serve to do that, if antisocial behaviors are the cause of bullying (that you write about in the next line)?

There's no inconsistency. Bullies rightly identify aberrant behavior that needs correction before adulthood, but the bullying itself is still antisocial behavior that requires correction before adulthood.
