I promise that I won’t give you 99 ways to deal with a bully. Because honestly, I don’t think a lot of it works. When you are dealing with a bully, the last thing you want is to involve the bully in any way. Now I know you can go online and find information on all types of bullying. I don’t need to help you with that.
You know what being bullied feels like. It feels shitty! Really shitty!
In fact, what I have to say will apply to all the different types of bullying whether it be verbal, social, physical or cyber bullying. You can be a target of bullying if you look different, act different, sexually identify different, have different religious beliefs, have a different social status…and I could go on and on.
Anyone who is different in any way can be a target of bullying. And that makes every one of us a target because we are all different. Sometimes we are just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The bottom line here is that all forms of bullying are unwanted. And there is no particular reason for bullying to take place. And you have done nothing to cause the bullying. So I want to help you because I know that you are really suffering, especially if you are the victim. I know that it is really, really difficult to see a way out, but I think I have something that will help you.
Let me suggest something totally different for you. And it won’t even involve the bully. Forget the 99 ways to battle the bully. Let my way be the one and only way to deal with the bully. And this time, I’ll get it right for you. You can forget the 99 ways!
