Well, I did figure out a why to take care of bullies, with eggs, and punching, and a skateboard....

Yeah, laying off potential, mild insults seems to work too. If they say i'm weird, a nerd, a geek, a freak, or that i'm scaring them, I always reply with a little cheerful "Thank you!". They just give me the 'wtf?' stare and they leave me alone. Surefire plan. JUst don't use it on harsher phrases that could backfire on you.

The problem is, that everyone, or at least nearly everyone has an acheilies heal that phyches people at straight away when attacked, and that's what the bully wants, so you have to pretend it doesn't effect you even if it does, trust me, it works. That's exactly why they use the attack, they know it's dangerous, but they realy want to get at you.
Like when someone insults a dead realative or freind, it hurts alot, but it'll hurt more if you react.
However, when you are realy pissed off, you can do pretty much anything, but you will regret it.
Now how come I can think of sooo many examples of these in movies, I guess it's a cliched area, but it's true neithertheless.

I don't really know how i deal with it but i kind of wait for them to get bored. Every bully usually falls to this.

Well, since ignoring a certain person failed (Altough it failed because I couldn't ignore him and now things are worst), I'm going to stick with the, meet me wherever you hang out (Probably the local emo rehab center, game store, or the internet cafe) and we'll settle this, if you don't, I'll get everyone to call you a pussy, if you rat on me, I'll tell everyone, you and me, and we'll finnish this.
and then beat the shit out of him, and get everyone else to, get everyone to laugh, hopefully he becomes depressed and upset and knowing he is such a looser, either reforms or leaves school.
That's what I'm planning to do anyway, losing isn't even an option.

This plan is akin to "Faeces, meet my good friend Propeller".

Ignore them that's all.

The best way is just to ignore it.
"Hah, your a nerd."
"I said, your a nerd."
"Hello?, God!"
The bully walks off, and there you go.

I think explaining why what they are doing is wrong should help. Remember, God's love is for us all.

You are wrong.
If I told that guy that I got into a fight with that we should talk it out because god loves us both and doesn't want us fighting, he's going to just get worse.

Go choke to death on some communion wafers.

Heh! Such intolerance, beautiful.

Mac Sirloin 10-28-2007 02:42 PM

Never mind, he's right, talking it out DOES solve it.

I feel so stupid, my faith had been broken....

OANST 10-28-2007 02:42 PM

Goddamnit, I love Kastere. Okay, I've already been found out so I'll own up to it. I was Bitter Buffalo. Nate figured it out and banned that aspect of my persona so............You're a jerk Nate.

Mac Sirloin 10-28-2007 02:51 PM

I was worked up, honestly.

Did you do it just to get a reaction out of me? I deserve it, I suppose.
