    Realize that no matter what is going on in your life, no matter what you look like, no matter who you are and how you act, you are awesome! There is no reason for a bully to pick on you. If they do, it's just because they want to make themselves and their lives appear more "cool". That is totally cliche but it's true. Bullies only pick on you because they are self-centered, selfish, uncool, idiotic brats! That"s the truth.

Tips

  • Do not leave them with a question. This makes them even more enraged and they will come back later with a hurtful answer!
  • Do not make jokes back at them! Don't tell them they are mean, dumb or a sass-mouth. That is bullying the bully. Unless you want that, which is not good!
  • Do not make physical contact with them, that is just promoting their behavior. Not to mention detention, suspensions and if your school has no tolerance for violence, you can get expelled!

Warnings

  • Dealing with bullies can get you hurt a lot of times. So what if you get a bruise or a scratch? If this fixes the problem, it will be worth it!
