Answer: If you’re being bullied there’s a lot you can do. While different tactics work for different people, the first thing you should do is try to work it out yourself.
Depending on how bad the bullying is (and as long as you don’t feel at risk, scared or physically threatened) you might want to try and work it out yourself – as a first step.
The more empowered you are, and the more you can help yourself, the better chance you have to stop the bully.
If the bully doesn’t change their behavior, that’s when talking to someone else can be really helpful.
The bully wants you to react. Their goal is to take away your power, make you sad and scared. And if you show them you are not sad and scared, they will often lose interest and they cannot take away your power.
Remember they want to upset you constantly so you get angry. If you don’t get angry, the bully will lose their own power.
Remember that bullies are human - they eat, sleep and live just like you do. The only difference is that you are NOT a bully! Bullies act the way they do because they lack the attention or parental love and nurturing that you have. They are insecure and bully only to feel powerful.
Bullies look for a reaction from you and often lose interest if they aren't given the satisfaction of getting one.
If You Feel Safe, Here Are Some Ways To Handle The Bully:
Walk away when the bully approaches you. Try and imagine you’re walking away from a stranger. Both you and your body language will show you don’t care.
Concentrate on thinking about something else (maybe a concert you want to go to, or a new outfit you want to buy.)
When the bully approaches you, count to 100 and keep walking. They’ll never see how upset you are.
Yelling STOP and walk away. Keep walking and don’t turn around no matter what they say.
When a bully calls you a name or tells you your sneakers are ugly -- look at them in the eyes and laugh hysterically and say, "I know my sneakers are ugly." Keep laughing hysterically and walk away without any additional conversation
When the bully harasses you and calls you names, look them in the eyes, LAUGH and walk away without any additional conversation.
Some great comeback lines to deal with bullies are:
Whatever!
Do you feel better now?
If you're talking about me behind my back, clearly my life is a lot more interesting than yours is!
Let’s move on!
You finally found something funny to say?
I’m not sure why you keep saying these things about me, but I don’t care.
Be really cool and stop this!
Enough!
Why are you talking to me?
Here we go again. This is boring. Let me know when you’re done.
I've been called worse from better.
Wow, did you come up with that all by yourself?
Pardon me, but you seem to think that I care.
Just Walk Away from the Bully
Once you give your comeback line --- IT'S SO IMPORTANT to just walk away and keep walking! Do not react or respond. That's what the bully wants!
When you walk away you're taking away the bully's power!
Stay Positive
It can be hard to remember all your good points when someone is doing their best to be negative. However, try to think of all the things you do well and remember that you are a valuable person. Thinking of how bad the bully must be feeling may also help you to stay positive.
Picture Your Bully Like This...
Picture your bully standing on their head with their body stretching – almost as if they were standing in front of a distorted mirror like the kind you see at a carnival. Listen to their voice as it comes out all distorted and warbled. And they’ve turned yellow with pink stripes. Now who’s laughing?
