What do you do when someone bully's you?

Answer 1

Tell him/her that you forgive them.

Then go home and pray for them every day for at least a week.

I'm not kidding!

Firstly, no one ever expects to receive kindness back from giving hate. This really throws them off... many bullies don't know how to react to this.

Secondly, many people who engage in bullying do so because they are unhappy, they are being picked on themselves, or they are looking for love or affirmation. For some people, when you love and affirm them, they will immediately react in a negative way (ex. show you anger and hostility). This is a sure sign that you've touched a nerve with them. If this happens, don't press it... but, let them know that they have a friend, if they want it. If they don't, tell them that you'll be praying for them anyway.

The third point, praying for them, is helpful if you believe in God. God will begin to move in them and help touch their hearts. God will also give you the strength to persevere, while this is happening.

Finally, praying for someone is also a way to heal yourself. This is because your own hatred of the person who is doing harm to you may be just as harmful to your psyche as the harm that the person is doing to you. When you pray for someone, even if you don't feel like doing it, you are forcing yourself to calm down your own hatred and healing yourself. In other words, you are removing the power that this person has over your thoughts and over your thoughts. You're removing them from the centre of power, in your psyche.

Of course, all of this will only work if you are really sincere about everything that I've said above. If you don't believe that God exists and if you aren't sincere about wanting to try this out, it won't work. It will only work if you sincerely want to change the way you feel about this person (i.e. change your hatred or fear of them) and - most importantly - if you commit to praying every day, with sincerity.

Note one other thing: I didn't say that you have to like the person, or you have to forgive the person in your heart, before you start praying. It's very hard for any normal human being to like someone who is giving you abuse. It's perfectly o.k. to have negative feelings about the person. However, the important thing is the willingness to forgive and the willingness to pray to God for the wellbeing of this person, as well as for your own wellbeing and forgiveness. If you then believe in God, He will do for you what you can't do for yourself (i.e. change the way you feel about this person and also get this person off your back).

Try this for at least a week. If if doesn't work, what have you got to lose?

A:While you are doing all that:

1. Keep a record of every time you are picked on. Write down what happened, who was there, what they said or did. Write down if a teacher or a supervisor was there and what they did. A written record is very important.
2. Get support from friends or colleagues, or if it's at work, from your union.
3. Tell someone in authority. Teachers, Managers, Parents, Police.
4. Keep a record of when you complained and what happened. Write it down.
5. Never give up till the bullies stop!

Answer 2

When I got bullied my feelings got hurt real bad everytime people picked on me I always cry because my feelings got hurt. What you should do is you could do this steps below. 1. Get some friends2. Don't care want people tell you, your great in your own way but people don't know that.3. Tell your teacher.4. tell somebody that cares about you, 5. Walk away

A different way:

People who tend to pick on others are bullies, and are often actually insecure about themselves. The best way to stop it is to ignore them, and don't give them the reaction they are trying to get from you, and therefore the attention they are trying to get from others. Try treating them with indifference; make them feel, and know, that they are of no significance to you in any way. Since people like this would rather be treated with negative attention instead of no attention, they will very possibly stop picking on you once they realize that not only are they not getting the reaction and attention the want, but they are actually getting the opposite, which is no attention.

Another thing you could try is next time they pick on you, simply say, "I'm so sorry you have such a low opinion of yourself that you have to resort to something so childish just to get attention", and then just walk away. Not only will that show you are the better person, but it will give you a renewed sense of self-confidence and respect.

Answer 3

You shouldn't have to 'cope' with bullying. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS TELL. I know it can be hard but being bullied is unfair and must be dealt with. Bullies aren't happy people and neither are the victims.

Tell the person to stop, then let someone you trust like a parent or teacher know about it. Stand up to the bully. Try to do it with a friend or others, there is safety in numbers.

Deep down, all bullies are hurt and insecure. If they still bully you, warn them not to put their hands on you and if they do, go tell a teacher, don't slug them in their face; you would get in trouble. If they call you out of your name that's something else.

A:There are many ways in which bullying can be prevented. Having an adult involved is the best one. Bullying happened at the first year of Heritage high school, and in her case, she either felt that adults were not needed in her problem of being constantly bullied. But in the end, she still did not seek help, and she gave in. She suicided. You don't need to pretend you have everything under control when you go through bullying pressure. GET HELP is the most important thing for bullying. A:Quite simply, supervisors or teachers should not issue warnings for this sort of behavior--it should be stopped immediately by showing the person the door. It is pure and simple abuse, without any possible justification. A:I feel strongly about this because I have left three jobs where these saboteurs were allowed to continue without censure. In fact, I was blamed for inviting the behavior. Bullying does long term harm, and the only thing you can do if you do not have supervisory support is to seek another job or go to school elsewhere. That is because the bully has credibility there, perhaps because of being a long time employee or some other personal advantage, and you can't trump that. A:Is the bully just insulting, or is he physically harming you? If he is insulting, then yes, the best answer is to ignore him/her. And, telling someone will help temporarily, but (speaking from experience with bullies) they will often start up again. Once, I knew a kid who wouldn't stop bothering me, no matter what I did, so here's what I did: I waited until he struck me, warned him (in front of witnesses) not to do it again, or I would hit him. The minute he did it again, I punched him in the face. He hasn't bothered me since. However, the problem with this is that you may get in trouble (especially if there aren't many witnesses) so you need to be careful. A:1. Tell a teacher or principal. If this is happening at school, make the situation known immediately. Do not try to tell a teacher/principal in front of everyone; make your meeting discreet, but prompt. The teacher or principal will know how to deal with the situation, whether it be talk with the kid or involve his parents.

2. Tell your parents. Even if you have already told a teacher or principal, make sure your parent understands what is going on. They will know how to handle the situation.

You should talk to your parents, first thing. If you find their advice helpful, you should do that. If you don't, let me give you one thing. Never ever hurt them physically. If you do, they'll want revenge. They'll get you back and you're to blame for making things worse! So just make a joke about it. And plus, it just might be about how rich you are or how you look or smell! That's dumb. And just tell them, "Really? That's a big deal? I didn't know that. Hahaha."

A:Bullying can be prevented lots of ways. If the person is being bullied and is not ready to say that point back that the other person is being horrible, then they can tell someone they know and trust. Or they can Deal with it gradually, by making sure you stay out of the Bully's way, and try to make sure there are people around you if the Bully is near. This is because Bullies never "Pick on someone", if there are other people around.

Just remember it's not you with something wrong, it's them, because they think it's fine and good to be mean to someone.

A:You can stand up for yourself and say, "I don't like what you're doing and I want you to stop."

However, if the bully says something racist, you should immediately tell someone about it. The police can get involved in that case.

Tell a grown-up, such as a teacher or parent, about any bullying which you have seen going on, or experienced yourself.

If you're being cyberbullied you MUST tell your parents and report the person. Look on the website for a 'Report' button or how to complain if someone is misbehaving.

You can also put off bullies from attacking you - try and hang around in a group of friends. Bullies tend to bully people who are on their own.

If you see someone else without friends and you think they might be in danger of being bullied you could ask to be their friend.

It depends are they in a group or are they on they're own. If they're on their own then first try and tell them to leave you alone. If they start again then stand your ground. I've found through personal experience that if you have a really good glare then when he messes with you just stare them down they will most likely try and glare back, but if your glare is good then you can take them. If that doesn't work tell an adult although 9/10 it doesn't work they will just do it again and again. If they are in a group then tell an adult first, but once again it probably wont work. Contrary to most adults beliefs it won't work. Get some GOOD FRIENDS that will stand by your side in a fight. That should solve your problem. Not all bullies are cowards. Stick with your friends as much as possible. If they do decide to get physical you've got your friends to help you fight back.

Telling adults doesn't work they may stop for a while but i will continue. Contrary to belief telling adults doesn't help. They wont stop until they're put in they re place. I'm not saying you have to do it but someone does.

It's best to get help from an adult or teacher you trust. The problem would only get worse if you take the responsibility in your own hands.

Answer 4

The answer to this problem is to say don't you ever get tired of hearing your self talk? If that does not work then say you know every second you use trying to make some body's life worse is a shorter life time and the quicker you die.

Answer 5

I've been in your position a few times if it's:

name calling by 1 person-----avoid him/her

It would also help if you stick by your friends, because if they're good friends they'll stick up for you. The person picking on you is probably making 'crack' jokes which everyone (including the bully) is laughing at you over. Your friends (if their good) will stick up for you 100% of the time, they should put the joke on the bully and make them feel bad...lol Know 2 wrongs do make a right ehh? :D Best of luck to you, it will all blow over soon enough, it did for me! ;D

If you think that the situation is getting worse u can talk to your teacher, a school counselor or even your parents, someone you know will help you.

Answer 6

Try to ignore them, if they don't stop bullying you then you should talk to someone about it, someone that you trust. & If you get made fun of for "Tattle tailing", Don't worry about it, they will eventually get over it. So, keep ignoring them, that is the bullies 'Weakness' , & What I heard is that bullies only bully you because they are just trying to make themselves feel good about themselves. && They are just jealous of you. So, don't worry about bullying.

Answer 7

The first thing that you need to do if your being bullied is tell a trusted adult. But you NEVER should put your hands on another person. Especially if its the bully. There is never a need for violence. Try multiple times to tell the bully to stop. If when you tell a adult and they don't do any thing, tell a different adult and they don't do anything tell a teacher or a principal. If no adult is willing to help you and the bully won't stop don't show any emotion toward the bully. If you do it will only make it worse. That will tell them that they have complete power over you. So if none of this helps you then just ignore them.
