Failing that, revenge can also be an option if you need it to feel better. Slow-acting laxatives, for example. |

Self-attention seeking? *ponders* Yep. I am like that. Maybe it's because I have a few friends who actually understand my situation.

Bullies are much more likely to opress you when they see that it really does bother you. Act or learn to shrug it off like if it was a childish thing to do and that it doesn't bother you at all and they will most likely stop faster than any other way.
Thing is, if they stop bothering you then they'll simply pick a funnier/easier target. Such is the life of a bully... There is hardly any hope for them. |

I agree with EoF, and besides, you're better than them Ian so there's no need to bring yourself down to their level by reacting.

My experience with bullying:
- ignoring doesn't always work. I tried that and it never stopped. And ignoring physical harm is not that easy. When you're the easiest target, they'll bully you whether you visually let it bother you or not and since we aren't machines, it's not as easy as you make it sound. When you find your lunch thrown all over the school yard or when they steal expensive stuff of yours - can you just go "ah they can keep it"? Of course not. - it won't stop until you no longer seem like the underdog. Behaving differently can get them off your back but even then, some people are picked for the way they look so for them it's harder since they can't change their looks I got the bullying to stop when I suddenly put my foot down and said "enough is enough". I dragged one of the guys who tried to kick me around the school yard until there was a hole the size of my fist in his jeans. Everyone watched, everyone laughed at the bully. Guess what? After that NO-ONE bullied me anymore. So to say striking back won't solve it - that's not true. It may not work in all situations but you have to show make a show of strength. You can't be considered a weakling if you don't behave like one. |

That's what I meant by "becoming a bully yourself" Red_Avatar.
It will work, but it's up to Ian to decide. I'd never do something like that if it was up to me. |
