Should you fight back with words when some pisses you off.

Question

My dad told me if someone gets you angry, you should not say anything back. Meaning if you are getting bullied, you are supposed to continue getting bullied. I believe if someone makes you mad, you have every right to put them in their place. He doesn't get that it doesn't work that way in the real world.

Answer 1

I completely agree with you.. they deserve to be put in their place!

Answer 2

those re absolutely 2 different things. if somebody says smth to p**s u off and u respond back u re demeaning yourself. if u just look silently kinda "what is that thing blabbering smth?" and turn and go away without a word it means this person's words didn't affect u, and this is exactly what that person wanted - to affect and hurt u with words. but if u respond u show this person actually got u right in the painful spot. so here your father is completely right. but if someone bullies u u have to fight back. if u win - they will stop bullying u. if u lose - u have to change school. never ever let anyone bully u

Answer 3

Your dad must want to see u being a lil punk a$$.

You don't have to feed back, but you can kill them with kindness.

If they put there hands on you then that when you should f*ck them (^) up

Answer 4

In one way your dad is right, it is always best not to retaliate, but just turn around and walk away, because you are just adding fuel to the fire so to speak, and that is the fuel that bullies want to aim straight back your way, and remember these people are really cowards who are not as bright as other people so they throw what they can at the brighter ones, because for whatever reason it is their way of trying to bring that one down, get the one being bullied to stop them concentrating on their school work, (or the job they are doing) so their grades drop, or if they are at work their work standards drop, that way the bully has brought them down to their low standards. I do truly understand what you are saying and i know how much you want to put them in their place but it is far better not to allow yourself to be as low as they are, okay its your life and you have the right to do things the way you want, but you don't have to continue to put up with them bullying so go and tell someone who maybe able to help sort this problem out, good luck to you.
