I myself, have dealt with bullies quite a bit, and hopefully I can be of some help to those of you who are dealing with bullies.
Note: Some of these tips, may or may not work. You'll have to try them and see what works for you. The best thing to do is get an adult or someone you trust involved.Tips for Real Life bullying:
-Tell either a adult or someone you trust, or even someone who has some kind of authority. (A teacher, principal, parents ect.)
-Don't let it show that what the bully is doing is bothering you. Most bullies get some sort of joy out of the humiliation of their victims. If you stay calm, they are less apt to bully you after a point because they won't be getting any joy out of it.
-If you see someone else being bullied, get help from an adult, or if you're willing to risk being bullied yourself, you can try to stand up for the victim.
-Even though it's hard to do, ignore what the bully is saying to you. (If it's verbal bullying. If it's physical, and depending on how serious it is, tell your parents or if necessary, get the police involved.)
-If you see someone after they've been bullied, try to make them feel better and encourage them to tell someone about it. Also let them know that bullying is never ok.
-Depending on the situation, try to joke your way out of it or surprise the bully by saying "Thank you" to what they said. For example, if you wear glasses and the bully calls you a "four eyed freak", just say "thank you". It'll confuse them and leave them wondering why you were being polite to them while they were being mean.
-Keep in mind that most bullies, bully because they are insecure.
For Cyber Bullying:
-Do your best to avoid the bully if you've ran into them before.
-Ignore what they are saying and don't let it get to you. It's just words on a screen and don't really hold any value.
-If the bullying becomes a major issue, report the user, but be sure to check out the web site's terms of service, so you can file the report accurately and don't risk getting in trouble for potentially "abusing the report system".
-If the bullying becomes a nuisance, block the user bullying you. Most websites have a way to block people, which makes it nice for you. However, reporting them is always a good idea, because it can potentially get the user banned or blocked to where he or she cannot bully other users.
That is all I can think of for right now. I will post some links to websites about Bullying and Cyber bullying for more information.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
