Report it to a teacher (Of power). I know you don't want to be seen as a snitch, but it worked for me. I reported everything (From being beaten up to having a paper plane thrown at me by the bully) but it did the trick. By the end of it this teacher had scared the living shit out of the bullies, she threatened suspension, called the police, threatened them with court and everything. They've never bothered me since.

The problem is, turning round and smacking them is just what they want you to do, and if you ignore them then they get annoyed with you and will you try harder to hack you off. Report them to a teacher and your problem will be solved (Even if you have to do it a few times, they will yield.)

Teachers are normally the best person to go to, but not if you've reacted alot as you usually get done more by them half the time, and if not that, they don't give a dman often and just say 'ignore it' (how can you ignore being punched in the face?). This is mainly for physical abuse. If it's verbal, I tend to ignore it, I really am not offended by it in any way whatsoever, honestly (this makes me wonder how you can be bullied over the internet...I mean, WTF is that all about? Just send all the swear words you can back, they can't punch you through the monitor or anything). Also, having big friends can be helpful (and amusing), such as dragonzardman...lol, he flattens everyone against the wall. Literally, I mean.

You say he's from Africa and has a stupid accent? I hope you're not being racist...though, then again, he may just be a prick regardless of that...

Carrying a weapon around, or anything that can be used as a weapon, is effective too, even if purely threatening them (i.e. large, heavy book, compass, rocket launcher etc.)

Retorts can also be effective, and if you just ignore them in all other ways, then for me they usually buggar off...or if dragonzardman is there, they usually buggar off if he even just stands up. Lol.

Just be careful with carrying weapons, you can get done for carrying a knife around in Scotland....Probably not so much in germany, since I saw a gothic-e looking guy standing in the street with a sword.

I just learn to ignore all the petty insults. They got dull after the 5th time, now I'm basically immune to insults.

Basically, they lose their sting when heard over and over. At least, that was for me.

Yeah. I used to mock the bully at my school for his limited vocabulary. He couldn't come up with anything more complex than "Gay, stupid, dumbarse" or some rearrangement of those three words.

I can respect an intelligent bully, who puts an effort into his insults. Hell, I can even laugh at a joke made at my expense, if it's a good one. But some bullies just aren't good enough to attempt to demean me.:D

Totally, Nate. I was never in a 'getting bullied' situation, but whenever the local dropouts in our town would shout abuse at us (along with everyone else they could see from their favourite spot: sitting outside McDonalds...) we would usually just laugh at how terrible their insults were. Boy did it make them mad, and then laughing so loud that they can't yell anything back is always an added bonus.

i never got bullied but i wud smak a brik of there face and teach them a lesson h8 bulles there fukin freeks and cowards

Not only did I not understand a word of that, but I laugh at you because you lie.

Learn to type in proper english first and then come back and start over. This isn't the CBBC forums or any of that crap. Also, we can all tell when someone's lying.

Hit him in the testicles with a hammer.
It should work.

so... we can all agree on my solution?...

If it involves testicles and hammers at high velocities, yes.

My solution was getting the punisher to help...
So yes, yes it does.

I still have my head in Bandage since 12 June!
STORY:I missed the Prodigy Concert in Romania, so i crushed my head on the wall until i got a bad Headache!Then, i was feeeling bad!I met a Buly that Crushed my head again on a Wall!After that, i was really feeling Fucked!Accidentally, i fell on a Big Rock on my head in the same day!Crap!!!The third part wasn't able to happen if i didn't meet that Fucker!!!

Oh, NOW I understand why you can't type.

I am KIDDING, we don't want another djreplay.Look, smakcing your head against a wall? because of a concert? break a window for godsake, don't give yourself bloody brain damage.

Do it the same way you tried to get people to stop fucking around on the internet:

Don't feed the trolls.

About the worst thing you can ever do is get flustered and try to fight back, be it verbal or physical.

I agree with Majic. I happen to have suffered from bullying for the past 6 or 7 years, and the best thing to do is ignore the verbal abuse, or come up with a killer retort. Here's a 3-point rule my headteacher once taught me:
1) Ignore them
2) Walk away from them
3) Hit 'em so hard they don't get back up.

Murder IS always the best answer.

Just ask Cho Seung Hui.

This thread is silly. Not being there we can't offer any useful advice, just a selection of cliched answers. Every situation is different.

Yes, I completely agree. I can only offer advice in cases where I am directly involved with the person and issue.

Oh wait. That's not correct at all. Fail.

Besides, even if that were the case, what makes you think the old clichés wouldn't be trotted out, anyway? Sure, they can be custom-fitted clichés, but I doubt it's going to be some wonderfully original piece of guidance.

And yeah, the thread's silly.

I used to get bullied alot, because I took crap, and was small and weak, now I'm just scrawny, but can still put up a fight, and am agressive.
I still get bullied, but only by losers who wish to prove themsevles, and see me as an easy target, but it's quite funny when I phyke up, and walk up to them, and they start apologizing.
My best advice however is to ignore these people, they're not worth your time, and believe it or not, they actually want you to react, so ignore them, if they go out of their way to annoy you, ask them to leave you alone, or threaten them. you may find them apologizing and being normal to you if you stay away from them if poissible, I know it may sound like giving in, but just keep in mind that you're way above anyone as pathetic as them, and nothing they will say matters, if they happen to get physical, react as neassacary, as they started it.
A religous freind taught me to forgive my enemies and love them, and filter everything they say out.
make love, not war.
Pitty at the moment I've got an african of my own (white southafrican, scrawny, albino, rich and phycotic) on my tail, and it's mainly our history against us that puts him against me, that and him being hated by everyone and so therefore wishing to prove himself, I am reacting now, but he can't get at me since he's about to get expelled, and starts sucking up to me whenever he's just about to. I would fight him and expell him if I had time for him, but I don't, quite simply, he doesn't exist to me, in fact, I'm more worried what he's doing to everyone else rather than me.

At last, we agree on something

Wait, WHAT? Does this mean world peace? Ehn, It doesn't matter, Canadians shouldn't worry.

I'm sorry.

Bullying is basically a tactic that cowards use to justify their feeble psyche, and usually they end up with on even more bruised and battered mind because of ingenious 200 pound atrocities that scowl.

Bullies are just people who can't stand to see others happy. When they do, they want them to be unhappy just like they are.

If you don't mind facing the consequences by reacting to it, then forget all that crap you learnt in school about "don't fight back" and "tell them 'you don't like it".
I think you, and everyone in general should have the right to fight back.

As you may know, bullies are powerless without a group behind them, so if you want to get them back in a non-violent way, then that would be the right time to consult them. :D

With me, it was always some dominant wolf b**** who would start threatning me for asking one of my 'friends' for a skittle or something small like that. I was young, so of course I didn't fight back or anything, and I always got frustrated by it. One time, it was so bad, the principal actually gave me permission to beat the crap out of anyone who did something like that. I didn't take up the offer though...

What i've learned, is that it really pisses people off when you're all calm about it. Plus, they're probably really stupid to begin with, so use big words too. They see that they can't provoke you into a large display of emotion, and the big words will probably confuse the hell out of em'. If you do get a free shot to clobber him while he's in the act, beat him up good, and walk calmly away. It'll look like you're not even interested in this conflict anymore. Y'know what? You could say that as you walk away... "I am no longer interested in this little asinine conflict of yours. So I would appreciate it if you would stop wasting my time and my space with your foolishness."
I think i'm gonna save that for future referance...

Yeah, I agree with that.

I've noticed that they really hate it if you don't seem to care about it.
Just act calm, and confident. It seriously pisses them off, because they realise their insults aren't effecting you.

I can actually back that theory up. While I'm not quite the bullying type, I have had experiences in my childhood where I have laid down what I had believed to be an insult worthy of the Big Man Himself, only to have it merely brushed aside with a 'Yeah, so?'

I went and smashed my window that afternoon.

Yep, it's not the best feeling.

Just act cool, act cool...then as soon as they forget about you, wait 2 weeks then go to the principal.

Revenge is best served cold...and stale.

Yeah, just stop caring, technically, no one can make your life a mysery, no one can ruin your life, you do that yourself, if you don't care, then anything they do to you is worthless.
Just keep one thing in mind, anything they throw at you, you should be able to recover, if you can't, then what they're doing is seriously screwed up.
That, or you could get your cousins on them. :P
I actually am embarrased when freinds finnish others for me though.
