Here is some advice to help you feel less intimidated by a bully and stop bullying.

First of all, you shouldn’t look weak. Bullies usually pick on such people. To avoid this, you shouldn’t look at the ground.

Second of all, you should avoid the bully. If by some chance you come across him/her, make sure to be with a friend. Bullies usually bother people when they see them by themselves, so by doing this, you have less chances of being bullied.

Third of all, you shouldn’t let the bully know that he/she is bothering you and don’t bring anything he/she requests. This will only encourage the bully to continue.

Finally, if everything else fails, you may use a mild insult. This may be effective because the bully isn’t expecting it. As a result, you will appear stronger to the bully.

All kinds of intimidation should be unacceptable. But the type of harassment you are reading about now is known as the worst one : SOCIAL BULLYING.

Why is it so terrible? It’s mainly cause victims carry the impacts ALL THEIR LIFE. Some of them have problems with their low-esteem all the time even when they grow up. Young victims at the primary level o secondary level may drop out of school for not being focused on the class but on the other bullying them. A lot of parents suffer from depression or anxiety (victims also) cause they are so worried about failing to protect their child. And you know what’s worse?...It can slowly grow to suicide. Tae as an example the teenager who killed herself in November 2011. Is this seriously what we are now? All a big group of kids being overlooked? And if it’s not suicide, victims would do anything to “please” the bully like take drugs, drink alcohol, change looks or pay them to stop.

It’s one thing to know bullying is bad but we can all make a change. Think about how you would feel if it was you or someone you loved being marginalised. Bullying is NOT an option.

Social bullying, and then more…

First of all: the consequences that only affect the victims…

When someone is being the victim in social bullying, it’s often in schools and other public places as a park, or a field for any kind of sports. The victim would probably be self-deprecating. He/she would almost be scared of going to the place where he’s being bullied. So this is very serious, because it’s going to make the victim “fail” every single thing in his life. I’ll tell you why, he/she is going to stop going to school because of morons making fun of him/her, and cases like that may engage people in drugs, and stuff like that or sometimes to suicide.

…Then: acts that victims might do as a defence or revenge…

First, as I said before, the victim might start by taking drugs and stop going to class and stuff like that and get in trouble more often at school and have bad grades, but the victim knows why he is doing all these bad things: it’s the bullies fault. So the victim is going to hate these people more and more until he can’t handle it anymore. The victim would, as more often than in other cases, put the blame on himself because he would feel powerless compared to the bullies. Or he might start to bully his/her enemy(ies) by physical ways like starting to fight with them or in extremely serious cases would shoot them.
