One thing that I was thinking about though if I was to fight back at a bully and win doesn't that make me the bully. I remember there was this one guy that would join in with other people bullying me and I remember crossing paths with him at the toilets and he acted all nice and friendly and I was like WTF the other day you were beating me up now your being friendly lets see how you like it so I smacked his face into the urinal as he was taking a piss and said DON'T MESS WITH ME AGAIN OR YOUR DEAD and he never did but I can't help but think I was the bully.
fighting wouldn't make you the bully, unless you take it to extreme lengths and after defending yourself begin tormenting the bullies. the thing that happened with the urinal incident is the fact that the bully's audience was absent, without an audience its not fulfilling for the bully, therefore, they'll have no reason to pick on you and they'll see you as a peer, that is until they regain an audience. That's why i think if your worried about physically taking revenge, then use mental tactics, take the bully's audience away by making them laugh or something.
Bullies are nuisances to the school place, they cause disturbances and unrest. There are many cases where bullies cause severe problems with other students and subsequently, the other student might end their life. In my opinion, a bully stores cowardice within themselves and mirrors their cowardice on others. Bullies are used to being inferior to people higher than themselves in their caste system, therefore, they make it a fact to themselves that they are above someone else of their caste system. Closing, there are many ways for people to handle bullies but the greatest weapon one can use against a bully is their mind. The mind is the greatest weapon because it’s the tool they can use to outwit their opponent, with the mind the bullied can display their valiance and gain the respect of the bully because when it comes down to it… “The mind is the ultimate tool, it is the basis of the body; it functions as a society, its as valuable as any jewel.”-Charles Demetrius Wright J.R.
This is the conclusion to the senior project on bullying i just typed, if someone would like to read the rest (its incomplete, needs editing) follow the link to my google docs.
