How can you protect yourself from bullies?

Answer 1

Bullying is certainly getting out of control especially in schools. Bullies are generally just plain mean or, they can come from an abusive family or simply are use to getting their own way. Some bullies like to think they are cool and believe it brings them status. You can't deal with a bully because there is nothing they really want from you other than the fact they know that you fear them and this only hypes them up more. A psychiatrist on a program I just saw said that in every school there are so few bullies that if all the students who weren't bullies stood up to these bullies they would back off! Unfortunately, it's a 'me' or 'whatever' world and most students don't want to be part of it and move on with their daily life. If you or anyone you know is being bullied then see the school counselor or speak to your parents. Bullying is a serious issue and police, the educational system and other groups are trying to curb this so bullying will be no more. Penalties for bullying are getting tougher.

Answer 2

Dont Fight A Bully Because it can just make things worse the only thing you can do is tell on them because it could get a whole lot worse

you may think that you sound like a tell tale and that they will get there own back on you but atleast your not on your own if you tell someone (;

Answer 3

Try learning self defense from the internet. Don't tell a parent or adult or teacher or the bully will use it against you calling you names usually bullies aren't strong at all they just intimidate you.

posted by duskstripe: you should always tell your parents or a teacher. your parents can email your teacher or you can just tell the teacher yourself and be fearless. if the bully is physically hurting you then you should stay anonymous and have your mom or dad deal with it because the bully might take it as a threat and continue to bully you harder. so like i said stay anonymous. so don't listen to the other guy

Answer 4

It sometimes depends. Tell the bully to stop please, be nice. If he or she doesn't stop then get a teacher to talk to. If you go somewhere alone with bullies it may not be the right idea. Try walking with a friend or a group you can trust. If they don't work go to the principal. Then if that doesn't work you have to give it back to them. Make them stop so if they punch you, you punch them back harder and so on.

Yobrowatuno: You should NEVER punch someone back, that will make you a bully. Try ignore them, and if your their main target, tell. If they're bullying your friend, stick up to them and ask, Why are you a bully? have you ever wondered if your a bully? I can tell you now your a bully..... and run/walk away... make him think... most bullies don't want to bully and don't think that they're bullies, and if you be nice to a bully they should be nice to you.

KaleighHancock2345: The only way is to say you need to stop and be responsible.

Answer 5

The best way to handle these situations is to run- really fast. Toward a teacher or best, several teachers (if in school). If teachers' don't really care, or this isn't this kind of school situation BLOCK and step on toes/kick knee/etc (something crippling/temporarily stopping) and RUN.
