How to Stop Bullying
Bullying isn't something that just happens in movies and books. It's a real problem that many kids encounter on a daily basis, and it can become dangerous if it isn't stopped. Learn how to put a stop to bullying by taking immediate action, knowing where to go for help, and setting a good example for others. People hurt others because they usually don't care about others.
Look the bully in the eye and tell him or her to stop. If a bully is teasing you in a way you don't like, insulting you, or physically threatening you, sometimes eye contact and a calm, clear "no" is the right way to defuse the situation. Tell the bully that you are not OK with the treatment you're receiving, and make it clear that it has to end immediately.
Avoid escalating the situation.Teasing the bully by calling him or her names or threatening to fight is only going to make things worse. Don't yell or take steps toward physical violence. The bully will likely respond with increased bullying, and you risk getting in as much trouble or he or she does if you're caught participating in the situation.
Know when to walk away. If the situation seems threatening or dangerous, it's best to disengage. Turn around and walk away from the bully. At a certain point, reasoning with him or her isn't going to make a difference.
