How to ignore a bully?

1 Answer

Answer :

I’ve never found ignoring bullies to be very effective. Only one person ever actually tried it with me, but I was in a shit school so saw it happen to lots of other people. & from what I saw the passive approach just encouraged things further. The one time someone tried to pick on me I lifted him off the ground by his throat (I’d been watching alot of Halloween) & slammed him into a wall threatening to kill him. He, & no-one else, ever bothered me again.
