What do you do if you are getting bullied?

[Sarchikani]

Well I guess the best thing to do is confront the bully in a nonviolent way. Then, if it continues, you can report him/her to someone. If you jump to violence, you will be no better than to bully, and you will get in as much trouble as the bully. I suggest doing something rather than nothing, as doing nothing will only allow the bully to continue harassing people.

I say "End it". Just leave no evidence you did it

Gossip about them and make them feel bad or do what kytria said and hide the evidence really well

Fight fire with fight. I think next time this happens I will just ignore them or tell them to stop. Try to end it peacefully before anyone gets hurt.

My opinion on what to do with a bully is simply easy, go straight up to them, tell them straight, if they continue to do so, well, that's just another person that is not going to succeed in life as you would. If you fight back with psychical actions, you just admit defeat, you showed they have affected you. You never show weak to a bully. Never. Ever. Prove you are stronger than them, prove you don't care.

I don't see why fighting back with physical actions is the equivalent of admitting defeat. 'Telling them' that it's hurtful and isn't right almost never works out unless the person is unintentionally bullying you in a verbal sense. I'm not looking for trouble, but if someone is going to start pushing me, I'll push them back. If they decide to hit me, I'll hit them straight back. See who's stronger after I'm standing on top of you - teach you to look for someone else. It's not like I think as soon as someone does something mean to you you should punch them straight in the face xD I just don't see why fighting back with physical actions admits defeat - sure they may have 'affected' me, if you will, but I don't see them doing it in the future. Even when trying to ignore a bully, said to be one of the most successful non-violent strategies, they can see the anger in your eyes and they can clearly see the effort you've gone to block them out which tends to satisfy them. Ask anyone who's 30 years or older what they did when they were bullied at school and they'll tell you how they stood up for themselves and fought back. They left them alone from that point on.

I don't like getting into fights, especially not unneccary fights, but if someone throws dirt at me when I am eating icecream, I throw my icecream in their face and start offending them in front of a big audience.

Isn't there a possibility you would need to fight if they decide to retaliate, something you don't like doing? :S

Welp. Narwhals fighting. That's scary.
In all honesty, I have one of the **** scariest Heads of House at my school (I go to a decent school ) so she's the one I rely on.
Usually I don't bother. I have HEAPS of friends at school, including half the soccer team.
Big fight coming.
BOOM BOOM STAB OWWWWW BOOM

I am home-schooled, so I have never been bullied. However, if I was bullied, I would just.....
1: ignore it
2: try to sort it out by talking some sense to the bully
3: if the bully was going to far, I would back him off and let him know that I am not taking any **** from him
4: if the bully was going farther and farther, I would report him

Though, if he was in trouble or in an accident, I would help him out, and then we might probably become friends.

I supposed it's different from a girls perspective. My whole school and I guess where I came about was taught not to fight back with psychical actions. And as you said if someone is pushing you and you push them back to try to show you're stronger, that may work if they were easily to give up, they may be feeling the same way you are, even though they started it, they are probably still going to win that fight they already started. Best to consult someone rather than just doing the same thing they are doing. As for people that fought back, it may have worked, but that's the older generations, I understand where that is coming from as my dad or his brothers probably did the same but at the end of the day, better to not continue something as such. Maybe after a while they'll feel really stupid, after every time they tried to pick up a fight with you, you still wouldn't fight back. It all depends on the bully, there're many times and there's different ways to come across them. That was just my opinion. I had something else in mind but lost my train of thought..
