What would be the simplest approach to handle a bully in your school,
place of worship, or place of employment?
1) Be respectful to the bully. Let the bully know that you will not
tolerate their actions and that you expect better behaviour from them. Teach
them positive alternative behaviour to use in place of their negative words or
behaviour.
2) Ignore the bully or leave the environment.
3) Redirect attention from the bullying situation. For instance, if
someone starts to criticize you or something in your life, turn those comments
into metaphors to make them more uplifting and help you cope with whatever
negativity you may be experiencing as a result of the bullying. And before you
know it, the bully will be forgotten.
4) Defend your rights. Example: If a coworker always tells you "You
dress so shabbily all the time. Why are you unable to be stylish for a
change?" Say, "You seem to be picking on my clothes constantly, I've
observed. It bothers me. It's impolite, and it aggravates me. Stop the
bullying, please." In another situation, you can say, "I overheard
your deplorable remarks about me. Your spreading false rumours about me
irritates me. I want you to stop acting in that way.
5) Make jokes. For instance: A bully says, "This your blouse seems
cheap," Say, "I know it's inexpensive, but I like to wear it,"
you grin.
5) If a bullying scenario continues, seek assistance from a reliable
friend or report it to a supervisor.
I hope these few pointers are helpful.
Toward your joy!
