How do you deal with an adult bully?

Answer 1

Handling Parents of BulliesHandling parents of bullies depends on what the parents are like. If they are reasonable and not in denial that their child is a bully, and will discipline their child, take the approach of talking with them and let them deal with their child.

Unfortunately, the parents of bullies are sometimes bullies or abusers themselves and the child is just doing what they see their parents do. In that case, the parent may not think there is anything wrong with the child's behavior, and it's doubtful that the parent will do anything to rectify the behavior. In that case, you should see if you can get the backup of the child's school, or in extreme cases, maybe even the police.

Another possibility is that the parent does not accept that their child is a bully. You could tell the parent what their child did, but they might deny it, try to justify it, etc. It's doubtful that you will get any positive results with these parents, either, so again, contacting the school might be an option.

Answer 2

with an adult bully, it is not possible to fight it off. you will probably have to go to some kind of law and sue them for harrassment.

I agree and it is easy to go to your local District Justice and file charges yourself.

I am faced with dealing with an adult bully and I am afraid I will get hurt.I dont know who this person is. I called my local police station and asked what are the laws concerning the use of pepper spray. I was told it is legal to use only as a defensive tool.That is how I want to use it. I just need time to get away from the danger.

Others have said a Baseball bat would do the trick. I don't like to do this because I don't want to see anyone hurt and it seems too redneck for me.

The person that is bullying me has no idea that he is doing it. He can't see through his anger. Educating adults on bulling would be the proper answer.
