What is the best way to deal with a bully at school?

Question

I guess I am an easy target for people who enjoy hurting others. I have had everything from verbal bullying to being mistreated physically. I try to be the "Better person" and speak my opinion and stand up for others when they don't have the strength to do anything about it. My teachers really don't care at all. Whjat should I do?

Answer 1

Talk to your parents about this. Maybe they can go to the school and meet with the Principal. Then, I can assure you - something will be done about it. I'm sorry for what you're going through. No kid should have to deal with that kind of torment. The situation sounds pretty miserable. Definitely take steps to put an end to this treatment and don't let things slide. Bullies love to see how far they can push you. Best to nip it in the bud now before it gets worse.

Answer 2

stay low.

dont stand up for anyone.

stay cool.

the best target are those who are easy to hit.

dont react too much. be numb!

taking out the excitement on bullies will lose their interest in you.

Answer 3

This may obviously be easier said than done, but try to understand why the bully is picking on you. Say something like, "Jenny, is there something wrong because you keep picking on me for no reason. Why do you pick on me?" You just may be surprised how the bully responds.

However, if he/she continues to pick on you, you definitely need to bring this issue up with your principal, your parents, and possibly the school board. The school is responsible for everyone's safety and comfort at the school- INCLUDING YOU! So don't let these people push you around. Stand up and do what's right!

Answer 4

I'm 28.

I was bullied too when I was in my school years.

Most of the time I tried to ignore them, but that wasn't enought.

I even had sometimes to report them to the authorities.

Bullies need to be taught a lesson.

You're doing right when you try to help others.

Bullies are people with a lot of insecurities. They have big issues going in their lives, they are unstable.

Allways remember, no one has the right to bully you! No one!

Don't let bullies to abuse you.

Talk to your parents about the problem before it gets worse.

If bulling persist call the police.

Answer 5

Definitely take it to the principal if people are making you feel threatened. They'll put a stop to it and see to it that your teachers are reprimanded for not taking you seriously. Have you talked to your parents at all? If you've discussed this with your teachers you may want to get them involved. I was bullied a lot in elementary and middle school and my teachers did nothing - even when a girl tried to rip an earring right out of my ear in the middle of class. Needless to say I went to the principal, who did nothing. So I called my parents who came down and "discussed" the matter with him, to no avail. We ended up going over his head to the superintendant to avoid getting a restraining order. Some of these bullies are unbelievable, and no matter what your teachers say if you don't feel safe or comfortable you don't have to take it. Speak to someone higher up and definitely get your parents involved. Ignoring the problem will not make it go away. People who are jerks and bullied need to learn that there are consequences to their actions.

Answer 6

Tell your father/mom about it and get him/her to see this bully and tell this bully to stop bullying or your they will beat the c**p out of him/her.

Answer 7

Do not beat them up just ignore them and if that doesn't work, inform the principal.

Answer 8

If you are a girl and you are getting mistreated physiccaly... that is wrong...  Become the main person's girlfriend :)  

Nah, go straight to the principal and give him/her all the guys/gals names that are being/have been beat up.  If he doesnt stop it and they actually leave a bruise its time to goto the po-po(police).  Hope i helped :)  that or i could come beat teh shiat out of em.  Muscle-man :D

Answer 9

punch'em inda troat!

Answer 10

homeschool or beat them up

Answer 11

That's sad that this goes on. Bullies in groups will escalate and seem to enjoy confrontation. Ignore them if possible. Perhaps some mediation and counseling through the school could help. A lot depends upon the cooperativeness of the school. Harassment should not be tolerated.  I believe that children that are raised properly aren't mean to others - this all stems from the at-home environment.  

I believe there are lots of books written and some helpful websites. You might look into finding out more info and definitely involve the school social worker. You have rights! Stay strong.
