How can I not be a bully?

Question

At the school I went to, I was buff, and people started to think of me as a bully. So I stopped working out. At the next school I went to, I was skinny, and was bullied.

How can I not be a bully and also not be bullied?

Answer 1

1. Don't let people get to you becuase you are a worthwhile person and nobody should be nasty to you. Tell a teacher/your parents etc and they can help the bullying stop.

2. If you are about to call some-one a nasty name imagine how you would feel if you were them? Look for everything that could be hurtful about what you are about to say.

Answer 2

It's one or the other, pal, but the choice is easy. Did you enjoy being bullied? I doubt it. Did you enjoy bullying? Be honest. It's fun and it gives you a sense of power. Make your choice.

Answer 3

I think you should work out.  If you are buff, you'll deter the bullies.   Plus, you'll be healthier.  However, once you are buff, just don't be mean to people.  You can even tell other bullies to lay off their victims.  Don't hurt them.  You don't want to be suspended.  But you can stand up for the little guy.

Answer 4

It's all in your attitude towards others.  If you look for trouble, it will find you.  What you do next is what makes the difference.  If you try to resolve problems through compassion and an open discussion, you are not a bully.  If you resolve problems through antagonizing, yelling, fists, etc., then you have decided to be a bully.  I doubt if you were buff that anyone would bully you.  But don't confuse bullying with teasing.  Bullying is an attempt to get someone else to conform to your standards/wishes by any means necessary (usually physical and always cruel)  Everyone is coming from their own realities, and you may just not understand where others are coming from.  Turn the other cheek is a good rule to live by to not be a bully.  When you are out of school you will see how little all that drama really adds to your life!  Decide now if you want to be nice and lovable, or mean and terrifying.
