Bullys are a bunch of cowards, that don't have self confidence at all and demostrating their "power" as Xtreme said, To weaker people.
That's why they called cowards. They cannot bully people in their level and they bully weaker people. Well if you getting bullyied you can simply ignore them, but if they abuse you you can contact kitfox an adult, or a friend that it's physical enough to deal with it.
The worst for me is that the school counsils doesn't do anything about that problem.
I got bullyied on my early years and was outminded, i didn't knew how to deal with them, Until i got some advices from tougher guys, with high confidence, and enegretic.
I dealed with them by talking smart, learned how to shut mouths, example (You think you can become a cool guy by mocking me? Look at your self, you're a poor excuse of life", But if they tryed to attack me, I always defend myself because I'm physically tough enough, But Other people should ask help.
do not tl;dr it
