Answer 2

Don't give them the attention they so desperately want.

Answer 3

nice thanks

Answer 4

i need other people's opinions

Answer 5

I'd vote for skullpatrol's advice. In addition, be careful not to provoke the bully, let alone resort to violence (unless you're really stuck in a corner).

Answer 6

If I'm being bullied, I'd find adult help... Wait, I'm an adult *cries*

Answer 7

my personal advice is to stand up for others by telling the bully in a calm and firm way that what they are doing is wrong and it is not funny. Don't leave a friend alone where there is a bully becuz thats when bullies attack, when their alone.

Answer 8

Yes, if in your personal opinion the situation has not already escalated, stand up for yourself and others politely but firmly.

Answer 9

So firstly we need to recognize where most bullies end up becoming bullies. Usually it is a psychology thing. Usually the bully so to speak has something happening in their life that is compelling them to do these things because it makes them feel better about something. The best thing to do is try not to make yourself noticed. But if it is happening to someone else try to rationalize and make them see without aggravating them how there isn't really a reason for acting that way. Bad things happen to everyone and bullies usually aren't as cold as they may seem on the outside but on the inside they actually do care. I am of course assuming that it isn't physical bullying at which case get an adult involved and if it turns into assault the police would need to be. The bottom line is that bullies or at least most bullies are having trouble outside of school and feel better or stronger by putting other people down.

Answer 10

Now with this said I am not making excuses bullying is of course wrong and needs to be dealt with but it depends on the situation and severity on how it is dealt with.

Answer 11

Words can definitely hurt, and words can heal. There is power in words. So when being bullied, you can stand up for yourself or walk away with your head up high knowing that there are better days to live without being bullied.

Answer 12

Usually bullies are just people with insecurities and the feel stronger by putting others down. Usually it is the thinking that since they are miserable if they make others miserable as well that it will make them happier.

Answer 13

If you notice that when bullies start bullying that they will always be near people this is because they want to look tough and mean to others. They are usually jealous of someone so he or she bullies that person to feel more superior, or they bully someone to be cool.

Answer 14

The best thing to do is if you see someone getting bullied make friends with them and try to get a group of friends to hang out with them and you. Because this way they will not look like an easy target. I know this sounds terrible but bullies have fear as well.

Answer 15

When they attack a group of people it makes them appear as if they aren't as strong because they wouldn't be dominating. The whole point is to dominate so that they will look so much stronger or more cool. But with a group you can't really dominate as easily.
