Strategies for Overcoming Bullying
Take a look at these ideas to help deal with your problem and reduce your chances of being a target for bullying.
Look confident! Even if you’re not, act confident—others will think that you are.
Talk to someone about it! Although another person may not be able to fix your problem, it’s always a good idea to share your worries with someone you trust.
Be assertive! Speak up and stand up for yourself—it’s your right.
Reply to taunts briefly and neutrally. Responses such as, “Maybe” or “Whatever” are effective.
Find and join a group. Belonging to a group boosts your confidence.
