The Lowdown on
Bullies!
As some point in our lives, many of us will
have to deal with a bully. Yet bullies are not at all the same. To be able to
handle such a threat, it is important to know what kind of person you are
dealing with.
The most dangerous and common bully is the
aggressive one. Aggressive bullies use the fear of violence to control others.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t stop there. They are known to quickly lose their
temper and harm their victims without ever feeling sorry for them. When faced
with such a person, immediately tell a parent or teacher. Furthermore, stay in
public places and amongst others for safety. Some people even learn
self-defense to protect themselves against this kind of bully. However,
violence is not the answer, as it leads to even more violence.
Next, are the verbal bullies. They attack
with words and are only happy when others feel hurt. So when an unkind joke is
made, show as little reaction as possible and just walk away. Remember, you
cannot talk sense to an unreasonable person. And, above all, never make jokes
about yourself to prove that nothing can hurt you. This will only encourage
them.
Last, is the computer bully. The best way
to deal with this menace is by deleting their messages. Do not read anything
they write and never send a reply. When faced with such a person. It is wise to
seriously consider a change of email address.
Keep in mind that bullies are simply people
who envy the talents of their victims. The only way they can feel powerful is
by putting others down. Therefore, never listen to anything they have to say!
