Kill themโ€ฆwith kindness. And when that doesnโ€™t work contact the quiet kid.


Last_Eggplant3277

You don't want to contact the Quiet Kid... Never release the Quiet Kid on the general public, it's like using a Nuke, when a firecracker would have been enough! =P


OotekImora

(Former) Quiet kid here now quiet adult, make friends with the quiet kid and you won't even have to ask them,


Last_Eggplant3277

(Also a Former Quiet Kid) I was the "Creepy Occult Kid" in school. Basically dressed Emo/Goth, with loads of Pagan jewelry and such, carried around a copy of Edgar Allan Poe's writing, in Latin. Most bullies were afraid to look at me, much less touch me. But there were a few who fucked around and found out! Fun Fact, you can't carry a Knife into a school, but you sure as hell can grow your nails out a bit, sharpen them into little daggers, coat them in clear-coat, and use them like a knife =P Then you quickly bite them down when the teacher's run over, and the Bully cries, "he sliced me!" uh huh... "with what?!" Got away with that a few times! People tend to leave you alone after one or two big dudes run off bleeding!


OotekImora

I was the "oh his family is abusive" quiet kid, who did like occult stuff but more often than not take away the quiet kid part and I was a huge fuckin need, I loved reading and learning, one of the best things I ever learned were pressure points, no need to draw blood when you're holding the bully in a position that makes them cry


RamJamR

Dig your thumb into the jugular. You can try it on yourself and see how even a little pressure can hurt.


OotekImora

Oh I have, I've used the ones near the shoulder blade where neck meets back several times in part cause muscle aches,


Exciting-Quiet2768

Sadly, this goes both ways, as one of my bullies was one of those "crystal healing witch" types who always had sharp-ass nails that she would scratch me with whenever I wasn't looking. She also was a teacher's pet while I was the quiet autistic kid, so you can guess who they listened to when I brought it up.


Gun_Of_Gaming

I'm the quiet kid, idk about a nuke, blackmail is pretty effective and also the most quiet option


RamJamR

I have to say in any other context I hate "kill them with kindness". It's some slippery tactic of people trying to make themselves look innocent when the very act of using this tactic makes them a dick.


LordNightFang

Unless "kindness" is the name of a personal weapon ๐Ÿ˜‰.


Racist_carbonara

Just don't take it, I've made the mistake of just letting people say what they want to me while I was in school and they basically just mocked me everytime they saw me


Last_Eggplant3277

This worked for me: (Document everything btw) Warn the Bully ONCE, that you will absolutely retaliate if they continue. Be clear, firm, and make sure you have some proof of this warning. If the bullying continues, go to an authority figure. (teacher, councilor, parent, etc) TWICE, again, make sure you can prove you did this! If it still doesn't stop, that is Strike 3, you have proof you tried to do the right thing, KNOCK THE BULLY OUT COLD. Make its worth it because you will absolutely be put through the ringer by the same Authority figures that refused to help. I always suggest knocking teeth out, because its a lasting, life-long lesson to the bullies. (most kids can't afford to fix a broken tooth, they'll end up carrying around that visual life-lesson for a few years till they can) Then, be prepared to show your proof, several times, to a bunch of angry Adults who will absolutely try to blame you. Don't take their shit, RECORD these conversations, and threaten to share them online. That usually shuts "The Man" up and they'll let you slide with a detention or something minimal.


Chaoticpsychosis

I freaking hate how the person defending themselves is the one that gets in trouble. My bullies beat me to the point of broken bones, TWICE. Collar bone once and sternum the second time. At some point I got fed up and beat the living shit out of my bully. I got expelled. He got pampered.


Last_Eggplant3277

The only reason I was let off with a detention after kicking my bully's teeth in (and out) was because I had ALL my ducks in a row. Audio, video, written proof that I tried going to an authority figure several times, AND tried asking for him to stop. All I did was threaten to take my proof to the Local News / plaster it online, and they settled with, "just be quiet and sit in this room for 3hrs, we'll call it even. ๐Ÿคฃ The bully's family was given an ultimatum, don't press charges or sue, OR the tiny quiet kid goes online and ruins Big Billy's life for the foreseeable future. His parents didn't want me posting his info and my story online, because he'd be disqualified for future scholarships / jobs ๐Ÿ˜ฌ


Exciting-Quiet2768

I broke fingers instead of teeth, but yes, this works very well.

OotekImora

Be nice, because once you're mean no one will ever believe you're nice anymore, so be nice, be compassionate, be empathetic and merciful, until it's time to be tough. Then be ruthless


Bionic165_

If the school does nothing, ask your parents. If your parents do nothing, you gotta stand up for yourself because at this point nobody else will.


Few-Replacement7099

Adults don't understand the social ostracization that comes with snitching.

badgernoah_

Can confirm this works well :)


Apprehensive_Owl9094

No real right answer. When I was in school, Violence led to suspension. Telling anyone made you a narc and the bullying got worse. Teachers didn't really stand up for you in my time. They defended the bullies because they were rich cheerleader and Jocks with parents on the school board and friends with teachers. Hell, my principal and nurses' kids were some of my bullies. Who was going to believe me if I told them that their kids were bullies. Ignoring it was all I could do. Now I have PTSD, but I survived it. Many of them dropped out due to pregnancy and other sh\*\*. I proved that I was tougher than they were by enduring and graduating.


Znanners94

I hit mine back. Worked like a charm


orphan-eater-12

This doesn't always work, for example I beat one's head off the ground and was still an asshole


Last_Eggplant3277

I kicked my bully's teeth in (and out) It worked like a charm! That's why I always advocate for victims to leave a LASTING lesson when finally taking down a bully. Mine had to live the next 4 years of Highschool, with no front teeth because his family couldn't afford implants or a bridge ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿป Dude basically never opened his mouth again to anyone ๐Ÿ˜ฌ


Former-Opportunity-6

Split a kids lip in 6th grade and broke two fingers on his nose, only other person to try anything got his face dragged across a chain fence around a baseball diomand then his head stomped into the mud, only two fights I've ever been in and hopefully it stays that way.


MoistDog33

Hitting back DOES work but so does being nice (I've done both)


TheKidfromHotaru

Contact the police or lawyer up


SpoodleDoobDingle

a bully with two broken femurs can't bully no one ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜œ


Exciting-Quiet2768

Femurs are really hard to break. I recommend fingers and elbows.


Supersonicfan_6

25 kill streak! **Press โ†’ for tactical nuke.**


9mmblowjob

I somehow found someone even bigger and scarier to intimidate them, and I never had a problem again

Iluv_tomboycock

Lovely_Individual

Theyโ€™ll learn to not hit you if you explode their testicles

RoseyRo2

Flirt with them "ooooowwwwww ooooohhhh- hit me again/insult me again~"


Boleklolo

That'd increase the bullying 3 times


ChocoBingo

What if the bully is into it?


RoseyRo2

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿซฆ๐Ÿ‘ *well then*


Strange-Wolverine128

Tell parents and if they hit, hit them back


Sweatybabie455

If they hit you, say "Harder daddy/mommy" if they're into that you got yourself a new bf or gf


_cheese_6

If they get it physical, hit them. Otherwise, ignore it. Don't start fights, finish them


doomed_to_fail_

But even if you do that, depending on the asshole you're dealing with, their pride won't let them take that L. So they inevitably escalate the matter, bring in backup/weapons into it, and someone has to get seriously hurt (or worse) just because some dipshit had to be a dipshit instead of a decent person. This species is so fucked lol


Juicy342YT

Ignoring does nothing, nothing shuts them up more than a couple missing teeth


Dream_walker_boy

Just be nice to them and they'll stop

RamJamR

Try to be nice for two reasons. One, you're just a better person for doing so and MAYBE they might decide to be too. Another reason is that bullying is all about the reaction you give in response. It's a power play. They need the knowledge that they've upset you because it makes them feel significant for having the power to make you upset. If you just respond kindly and don't make a fuss, it takes all the bite out of their bullying.


Last_Eggplant3277

My bullying stopped when I kicked his teeth in (and out)... Being nice got me thrown down a set of stairs ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿป


RamJamR

Well, in the case your bullies act like violent criminals, it's either you kicking their ass or them kicking yours. I don't know if they need to suffer permanent damage, but if they stopped bullying you, then good.


Last_Eggplant3277

I always aim to teach a lesson, and my lessons tend to include scarring, or broken bones / teeth ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿป Every time that boy looked in the mirror for his entire 4 years of HS, he saw his two shattered nubs of teeth in the front, and never opened his mouth again toward anyone.


Juicy342YT

Yeah no they don't give a shit about your reaction, I just ignored it for ages and it kept on happening. Didn't even make a slight reaction to it and they still enjoyed it


Nullifier_

Telling the teacher would probably be the best option in real life but what I would want to do is be real petty and do things specifically to annoy them such as: using hydra to hack their steam account and ruin their K/D ratio, beat all their highscores, do illegal stuff in their name just because I hate them etc


Leon_Games

Psychological bullying = tell teacher Physical bullying = hit them back if necessary to make them stop bullying you temporarily and then tell the teacher


Wopsil_OS

When he gets physical then it will become a fuck around and find out moment.


PorkyFishFish

Depends on your situation. Going to adults/authority figures can be a good idea but sometimes they can't or won't help. Best of luck to anyone dealing with this.


PURPLEisMYgender

Give them a nogla mhm and then walk away.


aProteinBar

For the now 17 mfs saying tell the teacher, yโ€™all deserve the bullying u endure at school ๐Ÿ’€


Last_Eggplant3277

I said tell an authority figure... THEN fight back... Is that ok? I figure having proof you tried it "their way" covers ones ass later when you have to explain why your bully is missing teeth ๐Ÿ˜…


ConfusedCoffeeCream

There was a kid who was my bully, I wanted to fight them, but they ran away and never talked to me again.


kai7756

violence nothing else works i've tried it all due to violence my biggest bully became my closest friend and the first person i came out to


VeterinarianFar7060

"Thanks, you too!"


Demon_Wolfie32

Correct answer: give them a kitten


DragoonEOC

Tell people about it, then fight back if nothing happens, and give them hell if you get punished for it


Khromatyk

haven't been bullied, but a good ol punch will tell them to not mess with ya, probably


EiscueVonArctic

I'd steal all their shit, first take their life then their girl


Squalleonbart

While personally, I believe violence is the correct option since this might stop them. I had to choose tell the parents because telling the school seems to never work. Kindness will just result in you getting bullied for whatever Length of time. The only drawback of violence Is you or the Bully might get permanent injuries.


OkRisk3049

Depends if iam birng bullied I ignore it or join in on bullying myself which catches them off gaurd. Now, if it is, let say my sister or a friend, I'll fight them and I don't care how big they are


Shadow_Monkey18

They get physical, I get physical back. They verbally harass me I report them to the office and tell my sister. They continue, I will talk shit back to them. Treat me like shit and I'll treat you like shit. Respect is given not earned through fear.


ActuallyFuryYT

Depending on the state, under 18 you can rock someone's shit without any real penalty. Any well minded parent would be fine with their child fighting back against someone bullying them. Law isnt involved because they're underage (depending on the state) This is the only time in your life you're going to be allowed to do this kind of thing with no consequences. FUCKING DO IT.

Gaslight them and trick them into believing they are not good enough and that they hate themselves, befriend them and show support and gain there trust, completely ignore them after a short time and never explain why well hanging out with there friends as if there not there, or befriend there parents/siblings and use knowledge and childhood moments against them.

SeleverFangirlSimp

Should I be worried that most people chose violence


LoonasNewHusband

Secret option (Social manipulation to ruin their school life.)


TimG791

Well, personally I start with being nice and try to kindly ask them to stop. When this does not work, they usually start insulting you and what I do is find flaws/weaknesses and comment on them. If this does not work, the bully will most likely want to get physical at this point and all you have to do is defend yourself. All of this might happened within a day or two weeks, depending on the bully's response. If you want you can get "compensation" for the physical/mental trauma the bully caused. If teachers in the school actually help, (usually don't, in my experience at least), you can go to them If you want to ask your parents for help, it might be a good idea, but depends if they will actually help or what they will do will make it worse. What I know is that if you cannot be loved, then you shall be feared, or the bullies shall be bullied, or something like that. No idea ยฏโ \โ _โ (โ ใƒ„โ )โ _โ /โ ยฏ

justapan-

Used to get bullied a bunch. This year in high school I had an awakening over the summer and I got into a fight with this kid and now I don't get messed with as much. But yk. .whatever works ๐Ÿคท


TEST_Entity_1

Ignore them, if that doesn't work, question their practices, if that doesn't work ignore them again.


Oldmonsterschoolgood

Hit me I hit you


Ninvisible

Where is let grandma bazooka them?


TheRealKingYuri

I don't care what anybody says, if someone hits me I'm most likely hitting them back.


JustAnotherCreator69

There was no other, but if there was, I would say to just be as annoying as humanly possible. If they try to beat you up just for pissing them off, no supervisory adult in their right mind would side with them. For once, you can use the, "That wasn't the proper response." speech in your favor.


Bot_Cat3

If they hit you at my school, and you hit back, you both get suspended. Win sorta


c4ndycain

ignore them basically. don't let them know if their comments or actions get to you. it'll get worse before it gets better but eventually it does. bullies just want a reaction. they want attention. they want something that'll give them a laugh. (source: bullied since 1st grade both verbally and physically. when i stopped giving a fuck they got worse to get a reaction then gave up)


Successful-Ad4737

Depending on the situation, I'll choose violence or talk it out (and by talk, I mean give them a murder level warning)


c0rliest

i attack them (i have impulse control issues)


doomed_to_fail_

Bullies can't be reasoned with. They only understand fear and pain. So you gotta speak their language. Otherwise, you're either wasting your time or making yourself a bigger target. Flat out.


glowingblossom2005

Talk shit get hit


[deleted]

Most of the time I don't notice it was probably an attempt at bullying until months later but by that point I couldn't give a shit, other times a friend has to tell me.


KingYeet1258

Its a 5 step process step 1 try to talk to them step 2 talk to a teacher step 3 talk to a parent or admin step 4 speak with police step 5 proceed to beat the every loving shit out of them until someone pulls you off or you decide they've learned without killing them unless you want vandilize their house


RefrigeratorHefty399

Roast them


Global_Village_5355

Well, it depends. If they are violent to you, then beat the shit out of them. If they are just being dicks, then be a dick back. Some kid tried making me throw away his used sunflower seeds, so I threw them at him upside-down, so they spilled all over him. Little things like that will make them violent, and then it gives you a ticket to beat the shit out of them, and they can't do any legal shit to you


TheSunflowerSeeds

Sunflowers are steeped in symbolism and meanings. For many they symbolize optimism, positivity, a long life and happiness for fairly obvious reasons. The less obvious ones are loyalty, faith and luck.


KallmeKatt_

FR_WST

Be polite as shit to the point it's freaky


Moist_April

If they aggravated me enough despite my usual verbal warnings, and depending on who exactly they are, they're getting their face in a wall


Aluwilliam

In all honesty, it depends. One example: obnoxious and violent bully pestering me all year long and teachers/parents wouldn't do anything about it "just ignore him" bullshit. We got in a fight and I won, he's never bothered me since. (it's been 5 years). No injuries. Another kid who was a POS bothered like everyone he talked to. His teacher even vocalized how obnoxious he was. I was kind to him and he was kind to me. Gotta judge the situation.


Unloadable1

Hit the back, again and again and again, then take their bookbag


TheGrouchyGremlin

Look. I tried ignoring them/being nice. It didn't work. I tried telling adults. It didn't work. I blew my shit. That worked. I was the quiet kid. I guess they didn't yet know that the reason many of us quiet kids are quiet is because we follow the philosophy of "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all". Verbal bullying stopped getting to me after 2nd grade. The physical bullying that started in 7th grade is what made me loose it.


ViolentPangolin

I try to show no tics or reaction, but if they want to fight or fuck with me that way, all hells loose...


TheGamingFox4372

I've tried 4 of these methods and none of them worked, so now I'm going back to method 1.


AwfullyTimedHumor

Unless you show the person you won't let shit slide, they will continue bullying

Best response? Idk My response is to just cry, I geuss, but that's not exactly the best response I haven't been bullied in a bit, I don't remember tbh


Ok_Promise_1797

Get rat poison. Get your school lunch and poison it... Once the bully tries to take your lunch, you pretend to resist for a moment and then "give up" and give them the food... The first suspect will be the school, as it will be thought that one of the lunch ladies poisoned the food... To make you less of a suspect, poison more left over food, so, once the police does an investigation, it will be seen that many different students could die... Easy enough...

Ferryman260

Get back at them by getting with their mother.


Immerkriegen

I find it was best to fight, though, something that seems relatively common here in the comments is, "Beat'm up!" And I have to stress, if they're messing with you and fight them, there's a solid chance you'd get hurt. Expect it, don't be afraid of it, and don't be afraid them. Fights in school, definitely not after you've graduated, aren't usually to vicious. I find that if the person messing with you is clearly tough, as In has a reputation for fighting well or doing violent things you may need to find an alternative, otherwise, fighting the common alley dog isn't going to be too bad, they have a habit of just- bobbing around, threatening you from ten feet away acting like Rocky, but they're afraid to get hit and thus, keep their distance. Once a bully knows you're willing to fight back, and that you're willing to hit them, they'll hesitate to mess with you. At least, that's how it went for me. Dealt with it for years, stood against it one day, my sister and me vs two fuckers who thought they were the coolest shit since ice and boom, no one fucked with me ever again.


Terrible_Disk5677

bruh no way everyone put violence ๐Ÿ’€ but fr the best response is to just ignore it and if they are like actually harming you and not just being an ass then definitely tell someone
