Do or die, you'll never make me, because the world, will never take my heart.

        We can't deny that everyday, millions of people, be it students or even adults, or maybe even you  feel a little fear or maybe even be totally scared to go to school or work because of bullying. It's sick and wrong. 

        Well, I say, that bullies are cowards. They physically, verbally, and psychologically hurt their victims because they think their stronger and superior, or they may think their victims are different and weaker. They lash out their insecurities on their victims, and are cowards who resent their fear, turning it into anger towards their victims. In fact, to deal with a bully, you have to show that you are braver than them by standing for yourself, and ignoring them.

     
     If you are being bullied, there are many different ways of facing the bully. The easiest way is to become a friend. For me the best way to defeat an enemy, is for you to stop being enemies and to start being friends. Bullies, though cowards, may just feel isolated and be lonely. Try being nice and friendly to him. If this doesn't work however, then start standing up for yourself. Don't think that my message means fighting the bully physically. Ignore the bully, because the only reason the bully continues his behavior is because he gets what he wants- fear and power. Show that your brave and stand your ground. The bully may leave you alone. However, if this continues, then tell a teacher, parent, or responsible adult. Don't think that this is a sign of cowardice. It takes courage for one to stand up for themselves and for their rights. Standing up for yourself is the most important part of solving bullying. 



Ignore the bully; walk away. Bullies thrive on the reaction they get, and if you walk away, or ignore hurtful insults, you're telling the bully that you just don't care.

Hold your anger. Stay positive. Don't let the bully get to you.


Don't get physical. You can stand up for yourself in different ways, such as  by walking away or by ignoring the bully. Violence is never the answer.

BE confident. SHOW to the BULLY that you are not vulnerable.
