It's normall
When i get bullied i just ignore them until they stop it’s worked. Thanks DG!Ive been bullied lots before
Ive been bullied lots before and what i do is tell my mom. She helps me get through itKeep Confidence In Yourself
If you keep yourself confidence, you are sure to get through this. Keep your head high and tell a teacher you trust! That is how I got through it.For KookyKoolAid
You are so right are you on student consle cause you are totally rightbullied
i tell them’ does it make u feel better to call other people name ‘Avoid them
Just keep your distance from bullies. They’re a bit like wasps. Dont bother them, and they wont bother you.Feel good!
What I would do is the next time that person bullies u, make sure u r around a lot of friends or people who have been bullied by that person before and make the bully feel bad! Tell her that what she is doing is wrong!Be confident
Just pretend that the bully doesn’t exsist around you, or ask the bully nicely to stop. Ask the bully why she is being so mean to you. Maybe she just wanted to be friends with you after all!TRY AND REPORT !!
Try to ignore and tell the bully how you feel . ( Nicely ) But if she does not stop tell a teacher you trust .ignore and forget sometimes use sarcasm
i used to have problems with bullying too but i just finally decided to ignore all of those people and to not make a fuss over it i also used the sarcasm if someone said that i was ugly or weird i would just say ok or so wat and now almost no one bullies me so i basicly forgot about being bullied but if one of your friends is being bullied stand up for the friends be strong even if u think that the bully is going to go after u next as long as u care for your friends and if it ia at school tell a teacher right away!Ignore them!
Ignor the people who are bullying you! They are trying to target someone who’s not going to like it! If you ignore them they’ll get bored and move on to someone else. BUT THATS STILL NOT OKAY!!! so you need to tell a perant or a trusted adult in private! they will know what to do!Every1 listen up!
Wear orange on the 12 th 2 show ur support 4 anti bullying! I know I will like or reply plzzzzstand up dont let them get
stand up dont let them get away with it say “look ive had enough so back off!” and dont say it tentitivly. not in a mean way but just say it tottally firmly. oh and another good way is too ignore but it depends on the bully! i have never been bullied but remember to stick up for other girls too!Forget About It i was bullied
Forget About It i was bullied in grade 3 by a girl and it’s been 2 years since and now we made up and are Bff’s and we hang out at school together. So if your being bullied you can become friends with them like I did and so did a million other girlsMove On
Last year I was bullied but obviously I survived . The bullies want a response. DON’T GIVE THEM AN ANSWER AND THEY WILL STOP!!!!!!!!!!! But look out 4 the next victim. They will probably need your “guidance”. But back off if not . If you do that I almost gerantee 0 bullying 4 u. They’ll think u have nerves of steel. You could make friends with the next victim too!!!!Bullys no more
my school TOATALLY discourages bullying so doesn’t happen much. at my old school i started an anti- bullying club. it worked!stand up!!!
Bullying can be stopped! All you have to do is to stand up or just tell a teacher. They are all your friends and everyone experiences this once in a while… supporters are all around you. Don’t feel alone. ;-)it can happen 2 ne1!
im nice 2 every1, but bullies can happen! lol i was bullied, and it sucks!bullying
Bullying comes in many forms weather its phisical,verbal,etc it hurts no matter what type of bulllying it is and you shouldnt ignore it fight it stand up and tell a trusted adult because if you dont it could get worse and worse everyday and the people who are the bullys really need to stop and get a life the only reason they bully is because they do it to feel good about themselfs, have been bullied before,have problems at home,etc just dont let them get to you and they cant hurt you i have been bullied and how i made it stop was talking to my school principal and conseler also my parents if you are ever bullied tell someone right away some of you might think it will get worse if you tell somone but really it dosnt by telling somone you can deal with the problem and make it go away same with cyber bullying tell an adult and they can make it stop also if anyone ever tells you your fat say to yourself you not if somone says you ugly say to yourself that you pretty not matter what never think the negitive things about yourself.Thanks!
Whenever somebody teases you, just say “Thanks!” or make a clever, sassy comment. Just don’t say something hurtfull right back, no matter how awful they are. You don’t want to stoop to their level!help
at my school i’m bullying by a group of guys lead by a guy who supposedly “Likes me”. well he’s always calling me fat. I know i’m not as skinny and tall as the rest of the girls - i just look fat because i’m really short. i know i’ll grow but how can i survive now? diets are hard.Psssh...
So what?! Brush it off and stay strong! Your not seriously SCARED of them are you? Brush it off and just remember…. They Are Wrong! Confidence!I dissagree.
People can be scared! i agree with u confidece wise, but sumtimes, bullys can hurt u!actully
Actaully name calling really hurts alot and some people are scared of Bullys so dont judge people for being scared because everybody gets scared at times Sticks and stones may break my bones but names can never hurt me but that ryhme is a lie becuase they can hurt so if somone is scared of a bully dont judge them because if you were faceing a bully you would probably be scared to!Name Calling
One time in school this kid in my class called me names like hippie,dumbo I was so angry at him I almost called him stupid.I’m not actually suppose to say bad word in my school.Anyway I said stop calling me names and he said what r u going to do about it.Then I said I’m going to tell the teacher on u then he said OK sorry I will never do this again.Stand up for yourself
I was teased for being friends with boys. It got so bad, I almost lost that friendship I had with the boys. I didn’t stand up for myself. Now I wish I did. If it ever happens again, I’m going to stand up!Being the bully
One of my best friends who was very popular started being super mean calling me names and doing this special thing that goes lose loser double loser and there’s more but I can’t remember I just started learning about discovery girls then one day she made my other best friend Jordan start being mean to me I felt like crying screaming and even running away out of school then I got really angry one day and started yelling at them and calling them losers then I felt super bad and I didn’t know what to do so I talked it out with them Tara said she was sorry but she didn’t really meN it so taras no longer my friend but Jordan apologized nicely gave me a hug and said she shoul’ve never went on taras sideNo Type of Bullying is Right!!
I have never been bullied, but my mom always told me if someone bullies or makes fun of you, if you know it’s not true than don’t care or believe what they say. If it’s bullying online, and it’s bothering you so much, just shut down your account. That way you don’t have to look at it again. Than you have to forgive that person because maybe they just took out their anger on you, or because they were bullied they decided to be a bully themselves. A good movie to learn about bullying is “Chrissa Stands Strong” by American Girl.Just a Side Note...
Sorry! There are several typos in this post… Hope you still get what I mean though!to YellowArtisticN
It is fine I still get what you mean and agree with you!!!Bullying and names!
At lunch people would be mean and mock me, or imtate me. Its got so bad, I didn’t like it, only person who didn’t do that was Alex, Sweet Alex. He was the only kid who didn’t tease for what I liked.Bullying and name calling
I have been through this before!! It hurts but you have to stay strong and get through it!! I found a friend that was there for me and she really helped me through it. First you half to confront the bullies and tell them that you don’t like what their doing if they still don’t stop then you should tell an adult or teacher. Don’t be afraid just stay strong!three things conifidence smiles and hope
just rain on the bully’s parade by smiling. it will crush the coldness out of them. dont let annything they say hurt you. on the inside you will feel invinicibleStop bullying
Stop bullying in its tracks, tell an adult. It is a serious issue that needs to be stopped as soon as possible.cyberbully reality
watch the movie CYBERBULLY on abc family. it helps you see light if you are the victim bully or bystander. or even if you aren’t involved in that it helps you realize your actions.How do you deal with bullying and name calling?
Just ignore! I know it’s easier said than done but it works. A bully is insecure about themselves and it’s a reaction that makes them feel better. Don’t givr them a reaction and they will get the hint that you don’t care. Also, look for a support group at your school such as Bully Busters! i was a part of Bully Busters and loved how much it helped me and allowed me to help others.Be nice back!
When you are being bullied,you should actually agree with them! This method is called ‘killing them with kindness’. When the person says a nasty thing to you say “thanks!” or “you noticed?”. This will confuse the bully and drive them away! Keep it up until he OR she stops. When it is over the possible chances are the bully will want to be friends with you!No fun
I have been called fat,ugly,stupid and even retarded in the past. I felt so hurt and even wanted to cry but I didn’t because it shows the bully that the effect does work and they will pick on you more! My mom says to”kill them with kindness”. If the bully says something nasty say thank you! or you noticed? This method will confuse the bully and drive them away! Keep it up until they stop! After a while the bully will think of what he or she has done and mabey even want to become friends with you!Laugh with them
At first i used to get bullied i used to get called mean names and they talked about how i looked but then i realized that if i laughed with them they’ll leave you alone and you can tell someone or just ignore them, they’ll find out they are really insecure about themselvesMean
I have heard the song mean it really teaches u.Mean By: Taylor Swift
If you have ever heard the song Mean by Taylor Swift you’ll learn that it is so true.yes. I am very inspired by it
That is what inspired me to make an anti-bullying club.HEYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes! That song is SO true!I <3 Taylor:)
Oh my gosh I love that song!!!I love that song...
Yes,I love that song,and it is a good song for people who bully and make fun of others.Mean by Taylor Swift
So true that song is like an anthem!Heard of the Song!
Yes i actually HAVE listened to the song and when i first heard it… I just knew it was probably one of the best songs Taylor Swift has made! It reminded me when I was bullied in 3rd grade!Boo-ya!!!
