Standing up to a bully and telling yourself YES.

Step 1

Know you have options!! Bully the coward is counting on these tactics: intimidation, fear, lying, making fun of you, your own shortcomings. You have to remember YOU DO NOT HAVE TO EXCEPT THIS!! Throughout these pages I will be giving examples of how to handle confrontation. You will learn how to confront the monster, pinch it's nose..and watch him run screaming as you laugh your ass off..
Yep, I am going to teach you how to be that bad ass, coward killer that you always wanted to be.
STEP ONE:

bully to you: "Bitch, I know where you live, I'll be waiting for you tomorrow before class. Just go kill yourself alright so I won't have to hurt you. Cut some more you worthless emo freak. Just wait until I see you online."

You:  "Yawn damn wonder if my anime is on?.. Maybe I should care? no, I don't want to ruin my day. Ill deal with that Jerk, tomorrow. Maybe Ill see him online and I will get to play with him. Jerk him around a little, see how he likes it.!"

That is actually what you should be telling yourself when a bully talks at or down to you. Instead most people that are bullied believe what the bully says. Believe that they have so much power over you. You cower and cry and don't know what to do. First, stop thinking that they have that much power over you! They don't. But in order for the bullying to stop, you will have to stop it. Its not likely that anyone is going to do it for you. Its OK, really. I was bullied, my sisters were bullied..everyone Ive ever known has been bullied at one time or another thru school. The key was they finally had enough and did something about it.

Intimidation is one of the coward bully's strongest weapons. Knowing how to ignore and defend against intimidation will be one of the strongest ways for you to cope with bullying. A bully depends on you being intimidated by his size, his social standing (is he a jock, class president,etc) is he one of those students that teachers love and they can do no wrong, but are total assholes when in the hall and there aren't any teachers around? The thing about bullies is they themselves have weaknesses and are socially awkward. The only way that they can feel excepted is if they are taking everyones eyes off themselves and placing it onto another. If they tell you that you look funny then you counter them on their own level. "I may look funny, but its better then what's wrong with you?" If you counter their statement with a question that makes them have to think, they start having a meltdown. Yes, they might get physical with you, push you down or threaten you. That only makes them look stupid in other kids eyes. This will be harsh and I will be saying it all thru this book. ONLY YOU CAN STOP THE BULLYING. YOU ARE ONLY BULLIED BECAUSE YOU ALLOW IT. IF YOU DID NOT ALLOW IT THERES NO WAY THE BULLY COULD CONTINUE HARASSING YOU. You have to get to the point where it doesn't even matter to you if the person does talk shit to you or call you names. You have to consciously not give a damn what they think of you. They are probably jealous of you. Serious.

When you are finished reading this, you should have the tools needed to be able to stop and/or prevent anyone from bullying you. You will also have the confidence to be able to stop any of your friends from being bullied as well. Just remember, it takes a real man or girl to stand up against someone they fear. It takes a truly good person to walk away from trouble or a fight. b There will always be times when you cannot avoid the fight. Especially when it is standing up for yourself or p[protecting a friend. In those cases, don't hesitate, take the first blow, if you really want to drop him, What you do is close to him, you drop to your knees, then uppercut as hard as you can hitting him on his balls. He will drop. Then walk away.
