lately, one of my friend were getting bullied, and i stood up to the bullie.. and now shes threating me and everythink! and the problem is shes really popular!!
If she wants to continue being a bitch, uppercut them in the ovaries or punch them in the face.
They'll shut the hell up after that.
Most bullies don't expect that treatment, they'll verbally degrade you because they don't feel threatened. Make the situation tense, play their game, only on an elevated level.

"Bullying
Lately, one of my friends is being bullied, so I stood up to the bully... and now she (my friend/ the bully) is threatening me and everything! And the problem is that she is very popular!"
It depends who is threatening you, your friend, or the bully. If it is your friend, she is not a very good one for not feeling grateful that you stood up for her. I would politely stop talking to her.
If it is the bully that is threatening you, there are several things you could do, depending how she is threatening you. If she is saying things that you believe she will act on, I would tell an adult immediately. If you believe she is bluffing, then ignore her. [ MAK's advice column | Ask MAK A Question ]
basketcase_x08 answered Wednesday August 1 2007, 2:33 pm: It makes no difference if she's popular. just keep standing up for yourself and your friend. your friend will catch on and stand up for you and herself. just keep your cool and dont engage in the name-calling. Keep it in your mind that name calling and bullying is a second grade thing to do. you're above that. In short, be the bigger person. everyone'll see your confidence and realize that this girl isn't a good person. You'll ruin her. [ basketcase_x08's advice column | Ask basketcase_x08 A Question ]
orphans answered Wednesday August 1 2007, 12:43 pm: It doesn't matter if she is popular. You need to tell your friend to stand up for herself. If she is getting made fun of or something than tell her to make fun of the popular girl. No ones perfect. If she starts bothering you than just stand up for yourself if it gets way too out of hand than tell a principle or something.

This is going to sound dorky and your reaction will probably be "I don't want to do that"...but just try it. First we had my friend's dad call the girls and talk to them, telling them that if they didn't stop he'd call the police. So he did call the police and made an official report, had them stop by the girl's house and talk to her and her parents. She has never heard from that girl again, aside from a begging apology.
You can try to fight them but it won't do any good; I know from experience ignoring it doesn't help either. The best thing to do is get her in trouble because it means she'll never do it again to anyone. [ xokristabelle's advice column | Ask xokristabelle A Question ]
