Don’t be violent ! Just report them to whomevers in charge down there. You’re probably not the first one they’ve bullied.

that’s what Phil says too

what if it’s the whole class?

or a guy at work with no altercation policy.

  1. IGNORE him/her
  2. If he continues to bully You, find his weak spot or tell a joke - original
  3. Do not use agression or any other physical action
  4. If you wan’t to kick or punch him, hug him instead lol

Though I love my mum dearly the worst advice she ever gave me was to ignore it. I just tell people off now. I look them straight in the eye and call them a bully to their face and though you may start a scene you also let others know you don’t take any sh!t.

Sorry. Been there my friend.

yeah, they all used to tell us to ignore it.

My mother never said that though, she got me the hell outta there.

Your mother sounds great. In school two of my buddies had to transfer out. They said that was the smartest thing they ever done. I wasn’t so smart. I adopted the grin and bear it policy in school. Some people wish they could do school over again…haha not me. Too many asses there.

I haven’t been bullied much in my life. I usually bite back with witty comments. I am all against physical violence.

Phil’s son is gay, and he dropped out of school, and Phil thinks bullying was a part of it

he’s such a kind hearted kid, hate to think of it. He did get his GED though.

Violence does not solve anything, but if You think using power, You know that such actions have consequences. I think I made my point.

I got bullied into buying stuff from someone at my day program. I didn’t want to go back either but I went there a couple times recently and she isn’t there anymore so I’m going back as she was my only.problem

He should report it, Theres help to get. Also bullying can be traumatising, maybe he wants to talk about it or go to therapy or something else.

I’ve been bullied before over an extended period of time. I know how it hurts. I’m really sorry you’re going through this. I don’t know that I handled it the right way so I don’t have good advice. But I hope you get the right tools to deal with it. I totally get where you’re at.

Violence doesn’t seem to solve it. I once beat a bully up. It didn’t help much. He stopped bullying me but I went to juvenile hall and was viewed as a troublemaker for a few years. He wanted to fight me again. I didn’t want to go back to juvenile hall so I avoided him anyway I could. I was on probation for a few years as well. The thing is I notified the school principal I was being bullied and that didn’t help either. I guess you should just try to avoid the person and let the staff know you are being bullied.

"I see you are having a problem with me. I’d suggest you stop it right now. I don’t want any grief but I’m giving you a chance to walk away. " slow low voice. Some buggy eyes.

I got bullied a lot in middle school and high school. The first group of girls that bullied me and my sister were probably the worst and we had to report their behavior to the school because it had started getting physical like shoving and stuff. Then I got a lot of people that would verbally give me crap and I put up with a lot of it for a long time. Eventually I started asking them point blank WHY are you saying this or doing that or whatever and for some weird reason that always made them shut up and walk away. Mybullying mostly stopped after I asked why. I still don’t know why but at least it stopped. Sometimes I wish they had bothered to answer the question

I mean, violence solved my problems, but I only use violence to protect myself from someone being violent towards me or someone else.
