How to Deal

How to deal.

Do’s and Don’ts when you’re trying to deal with bullies.

DO:

• Ask a parent, teacher, coach, pastor, or any other adult authority figure for help.
• Refuse to believe anything mean a bully says about you. They are simply trying to get under your skin.
• Treat a bully how you wish to be treated. Retaliation will only take you down to their level.
• Avoid purposefully putting yourself in a situation or position where a bully can easily attack you.
• Stand proud and stand up for yourself.
• Most importantly, just walk away. 

DON’T:

• Don’t suffer alone. Ask for help.
• Don’t fight back. Standing up for yourself is one thing, fighting back is totally different.
• Don’t post things online (or even just talk about it with your friends) like “Everyone hates me!”, “I didn’t even do anything to you!”, “You’re a b****!”, etc. Don’t put yourself down either, you’ll become your own bully.
• Don’t old grudges. Really, it’s just not worth it.
• Don’t just ignore the bully. They will continue to bully you and/or other people. Tell someone so they can be stopped.
