reactions help with that (they can see their progress) but i also kind of feel like there isn’t a reaction that doesn’t fuel that, at least for this kind of thing

and i also feel like you should be dealing with the bullies, not the bullied

#6306

incredibly fucked but also holy shit lmao

#6307

the reactions that demonstrate this are a bonus but if you’re in a circle of older kids chanting and swearing at you to fight and you have to fight or they’ll close in and stamp all over you, they know you’re suffering. no amount of not stooping to their level will prevent that

I tried that in high school for people picking on me and it did work eventually. But a major issue is that you have to stand up but there’s a power balance in the way, even if you ignore them what if they do something physical to you

the only surefire way to stop bullying is kicking their ass several times

Its a bit grim but nothing can be done

yeah there’s some pretty big physical leverage here usually

#6313

that’s why a frequent tactic to stopping yourself from being bullied is to learn things that negate that physical leverage (martial arts)

Yeah I cringe when I hear an adult saying “just ignore the bullies, they will get bored and go away”. Words coming from someone who has never experienced bullying but thinks they did
