They want someone to react to their actions/words. They schemingly pick out the most vunerable. I found, the more i reacted to her, the better it was for her. And then i did myself no favours. Of course it made me angry. I started thinking how hilarious it would be, if i just didn't respond anymore to her cruel ways. I thought about how it would pi$$ her off. She would grow very bored if i stopped reacting. Well i stopped reacting. This made her behave slightly worse sometimes, even marred with threats to kill me. Just cos i wouldn't lower my standards to be cool, to be sophomore, or anorexic, or blonde. Who cares about that kind of stuff? My point is, if you react, they'll love it, cos the pain isn't in them anymore, but in you the victim. However, you can ignore the bully. There are many ways to. Just don't give that bully that attention they crave. They have issues.

"My point is, if you react, they'll love it, cos the pain isn't in them anymore, but in you the victim."

Wow, that is deep. "The pain isn't in them anymore." This is so true.

that is deep, now give me your lunch money

I don't respond to her posts eaither.

Tell me who it is, and ill beat their azz!

No one can bully me.

I got Ninja skills!

no idea what u r talking about really....but I don't like bullies either

was it something on here that happened?

Very good post. I don't like bullies either. Matter of fact, on my motorcycle helmet I have a saying "mean people suck" .

i have a license plate on the front of my truck that says that, it also says i run them over too

I had a boss once who was a bully to many people. I finally told her that I knew she did not like me. She denied it, but she never bothered me again. I never thought that would work, but it did.

Haven't had anyone bully me since high school. The one high school incident (1967) I was being hit. After the third time we met after school and he never bullied me again.

I have a son who was bullied at school by some mongrel bred munchkin,
My son is 300 pounds and almost 6 ft, but very very gentle. so he just ignored him fro 12months, then one day the bully pushed one of the girls and told my son his mother was a hippy whore (not sure where he got that idea)
Anyway my son punched him in the mouth and knocked him out. I was called to the school to talk about it , because he had an excellent record he wasnt in trouble, but they didnt do anything to the other boy..

The good thing is he never said another word to my son, or picked on anyone else at school.

Josie:

Unfortunately some jerks enjoy picking on others. I don't condone violence but "sometimes" someone has to stand up to these types of people. Unfortunately, some school systems look the other way and students are forced to defend themselves.

I know it is ridiculous, he once let a younger boy punch him in the mouth and when I said why, he just replied that "Mum I could have hurt him if I had done anything I had to sit him down and explain that it was ok to defend yourself.

For my children their Dad was violent and especially for my son as he is a lot like his Dad, I think at times he is scared to use his strenth as he is stronger then most grown me, and he is still only 16

Bullies are a nuisance to themselves, and a threat to another person's emotional make up.

Only use the amount of force needed to stop the threat. Again, I am not condoning violence but people have a right to defend themself. However, one should only use the force needed to stop the threat. Granted, for a young teen that may be difficult.

yep especially if you have 300 pounds behind you, he accidently broke one of his best friends ribs a couple of months ago when they where playing around. His friend is around 6 ft but not as thick and poor aaron had to carry him to the office, He still feels bad although they both know he didnt mean it. So he is trying to be careful,

Im tellen ya,

I got Ninja skills!

Yes, but now there is a new bully law in congress . Just what we need...fill the courts up even more and make it so kids are not allowed to stick up for themselves.

bully laws suck, now give me your lunch money
