Bullying is a common problem in our society. Even in school this type of attitude is still present. This is an aggressive behavior or attitude of a superior individual. Those who bully use their power to become superior like using physical strength, popularity or bring a rich kid to harm others. There are also types of bullying and it could be like verbal bullying, physical bullying, or cyber bullying which is a trend right now. Most kids who are being bullied became depress. As a young individual, I also experienced bullying because of how skinny I was.

IF YOU ARE BEING BULLIED . . .

Leave the situation. Try to do this before things get heated up.

All of us if we are being bullied we always feel this rage inside us but before doing anything else, we need to hit the brakes as fast as we can before it gets hot. We need to take a moment to ourselves before we react. In my case if I am in a rage mood I usually count to ten before deciding. This always work for me since within those 10 seconds I can clear my mind and so I can cool down.

Respond directly to the bully.

If the bullying still continue as it is and if it feels safe, tell the aggressor to stop in a firm but calm way. Don’t pick a fight because their bad behavior might just continue. If you feel confident to do so, use a clever response to weaken the effect of the behavior. Just try to control your emotions and don’t be swayed and remember to keep an eye contact so they will know that you are not an easy target.

Ask for help.

Think about the situation: Ask yourself a question to help you assess the situation. Is it something you can control? Did you misunderstand the thing that’s fueling your fire? Know where you’re going before you move forward. If you feel that you cannot control it you need to ask for help. You should be ready and keep a speed dial to either one of your family or friends.

Respond with affirmative statements.

Fogging is useful when you are being verbally bullied. Fogging is when you use neutral or agreeing statements to respond to the bully. This allows you to respond without escalating the situation, and the bully may become bored because you are not reacting the way they want you to. You can respond like saying:

“So?”
“Maybe.”
“Who cares?

Use a comeback line.

The idea of a comeback line is to stop the bully and make them think twice about what they are doing. It is not meant to anger the bully! Before you decide to use a comeback line, you should know how to use them correctly without making the situation worse. You can respond like:

“Whatever you say."
“Nothing better to do?"

If you decide to respond take time and practice. Escaping from bullies needs emotional strength so don’t be swayed and don’t let them sense you that you are scared.

These tips are really helpful for bullied kids. Being bulied is tough and when I see most of the kids around me they really seem to find flaws on anyone and prey on them if they can't defend themselves properly.
My best friend was bullied through her whole primary for being overweight and being into geeky stuff instead of the stuff girls her age liked. And not only verbally. Long story short, her mom got called into office because she kicked a kid into guts. Her mom told the principal that she's proud of her for standing up for herself when the kids wanted to hit her. The bullying carried on, but not physically anymore, at least. Now she's the coolest person I know and everyone seems to love her as she is, despite not being an ideal skinny model that most girls strive to be.
So anyone bullied remember this, sometimes you can't beat the bullies, but they won't be around forever. However, the people that genuinely love you for who you are will.

Wow! I was amazed of how your friend actually escape from bullying in a physical way. For me they are the strongest individual. It was never easy to just be the inferior one. Thank you for sharing your story @katsonka 😊

Thanks, I was really amazed at first when she told me her story too. And the pleasure's mine. Everyone needs at least a few words of hopes, especially when people around aren't as much friendly.
