That’s one amazing way to get rid of a bully: talk it over.

Worked for me, on more than one occasion.

The thing about bullying others that bullies fail to realize is that sooner or later they will bully the wrong person or people and then they will be the ones finding what it is like to be bullied themselves.

“That’s one amazing way to get rid of a bully: talk it over.”-Not if that was Lio. To him, “action speaks louder than words”.

So do karate lessons,and they are more satisfying.

Words rule? If only I could have used just words to get bullies off!

does not always work on bullies

When I was in Jr. High I reported a drug deal that I witnessed, the school officials caught the buyer with the goods on him and he got a few days off. Somehow his friends figured out that I was the one who reported on him and one day they caught me in the hall between classes and told me exactly what they were going to do to me if I ever reported on anyone else, they were having so much fun watching my terror that they lost track of time until the bell rang and I saw the classroom they all ran into. A few minutes later the 9th grade disiplinarians found me still shivering in the hall and I told him what had happened and pointed out the room my tormentors had run to when the bell rang. The disiplinarian applogized to the teacher and asked me to point out my tormentors, I only recognized one of them, but when I started pointing him out he jumped to his feet and yelled, “I’m not going down alone, he was there, he was there, he was there . . .” by the time he was done everyone involved with threatening me was accounted for and they were marched of to the principals office to be suspended. No one ever bothered me after that.

More like that bully sucks at his job.
