Facts that adults don't tell you about bullying
1- Communication doesn't work on bullies. Telling a
bully they're making you feel bad is the wrong way
to go. They want to make you feel bad. That's the
point.
2- being kind to a bully doesn't always mean they'll
stop. Sometimes it means they'll just use your
kindness to manipulate you while still continuing to
bully you.
3- not every bully has a sympathetically tragic home
life. Sometimes people are just mean. Sometimes
people just get off on hurting others.
4- on that note, a tough home life is a reason, not an
excuse. You don't have to put up with bullying be-
cause somebody's life sucks, just like you don't have
to let someone mug you because they're broke.
5- in order to forgive someone, they have to
apologize first. If your bully has not apologized to
you, you do not owe them anything.
6- getting bullied as a kid can still mess you up in
adult life. Maybe kids grow out of being bullies, but
the marks they left often don't go away.
7- there are ways to get people to stop bullying you,
but they almost all involve being mean back.
8- as long as parents keep raising bullying kids,
there will be bullies. No amount of assemblies and
hand-drawn posters will fix the problem. It's the
parents' fault.
