wow, i HATE bullies with a passion, and i myself have dealt with them before. but i`ve been picked on enough to know almost exactly how to deal with them. first of all, don`t let them get to your head. bullies basically have no life, and they`re lame. if you can`t get anything to say, make sure you have friends with you. that`s what they`re there for - to back you up. and trust me, they`ll do their job well.

other than that, you can try to outsmart them with words. don`t make rude comments to them, but rather say something smart. usually something that makes the whole class laugh works. if you say something smart and the group of people you`re with laughs, their self-confidence goes down to the size of a ping-pong ball.

but most of all, just remember that you`ve done nothing to them. if you want to keep it short and simple, just say something like, "if you had a life, you`d stop ruining mine." and walk away. simple as that. i really hope this works out, and i hope i helped. :]

just be like GET THE F*CK AWAY FROM ME YOU PSYCO!! lol no umm..

just politely say please stop. if that doesnt work, dont let them know it bothers you because then theyll do it more. theyll eventually stop when they realize it doesnt bother you. good luck!

I sit beside this really gross, perverted guy in class who all the time makes rude and innopropriate comments to me. What I do to stand up to him is either agree with what he's saying (ie "Your mom was hot last night, Mel" "Of course she was") or pretend to be nice to him (ie "You wanna have sex, Mel?" "No, thanks."). Usually he'll back off and I feel a bit more cofident. Either that or he'll, in return, act a bit more humane towards me.

Hopefully this helps!!

If someone tried to say crap to you just say crap back. Confidence is a lot to build but not too hard. just practice some things you might say to her with yourself and when it all happens use the best come backs you got. Next time she says something to you, say something bad about her back. of cource you could jsut ignore her but if it keeps goin on for a while then you should probably take a step up. Don't snitch though cause that would make everything worst for you. Maybe consider getting come backs off of google to use on her too. Don't take it too far though or she might take it an extra step up. Just through a couple comebacks and then backoff. Nothing to big, just to get her to leave you alone. Hope everything works out for you!

There are so many ways so stand up for yourself - I was bullied once so i know how these things go ya know?Calling them names or whatever dosnt change anything and dosnt hurt them.And tellignt eacher dosnt really help - you do nt get any protection.So the way to fight them is to stay REALLY STRONG and ignore them and no matter how much they are hurting you gotta act as if you dont care and just get on with whatever you were doing.Itz gd stay around other people .If they are confronting you and calling you names make sure your with people to witness it and just walk away and continue the converaation.Reporting the police is gd 2 because you can protection.
