High school bullying can be experienced as one of the worst things in the world. Millions of kids have gone through this difficult experience. Therefore, this article will try to help you solve this kind of situation.
Steps
Step 1. Ignore them
Bullies are always waiting for a reaction. If they yell at you or insult you, the best thing you can do is ignore them. They will soon get bored and stop.
Step 2. If they hurt you, don't suffer in silence
Tell the teachers, a school counselor, your parents, or someone you trust.
Step 3. If you are insulted, do not take it badly
It is very likely that they think of themselves what they tell you. Bullies harass other people, because they are unsure of themselves and feel the need to make others feel the same way.
Step 4. Did they target you because you are yourself?
Don't change who you are just because they are nagging you for that reason.
Step 5. If you find them in front of you, do not walk away, showing that you are afraid
As scary as it may be, face the situation.
Step 6. If you have trusted friends, tell them what is happening to you so they can stand up for you
Bullies will likely back off, seeing that you are in company.
Step 7. Laugh it back
If someone teases or insults you, turn around and smile. Bullies find it fun to upset and torment people, and when they see that it works, they feel encouraged to persist. If you laugh, you will give the impression that insults and offenses do not affect you at all. This will tire them out and hopefully cause them to stop.
Step 8. If you are a victim of cyber bullying, print all the slander received and keep them in a folder
This way you will have proof to present to the counselor or school director if necessary.
Step 9. Overall, stand tall and surround yourself with people who care
Hang out with those who love you because these are the only people who really matter.
