Advice for Bullying at school (Personal experiences)

SUMMARY

What is Bullying? Why did I make this?

This is completely unrelated to any of my bots, but I wanted to make this for one reason. When people say bring back bullying, I don't think they realize what bullying is. Bullying is an unwanted, aggressive form of communication. It involves the use of power—such as physical strength, access to embarrassing information, or social status—to control or harm others, and the behavior happens more than once or has the potential to be repeated. This is not something I feel or find funny at all; being bullied and being teased is completely different from one another. Even when bullying ends, it doesn't fix the emotional damage that the individual is facing.

My Experiences

Bullying can come in many ways, such as emotional or physical. Keep in mind that parents can also bully their children in the same way kids at school can.

I have been bullied, harassed, or socially isolated multiple times in my life. I won't go into detail since I'm not comfortable sharing the full details, but I'll share some experiences. I have been shamed and harassed by hair on my body, especially my arms, legs, and chest. With this in mind, the main insults I received from this were "Teddy Bear" and "Hairy". Even after this experience, I am still insecure about hair, especially on my body.

Another experience I've been through was with my ex-best friend. I still won't go into detail, but basically she isolated me from interactions, constantly whispered next to me, made me feel unincluded, and many more things. Some people say to ignore it, but when you are in the moment, it's hard not to show a reaction. This bullying got to a point where, after I told a teacher, she came up to me and cursed me out with another girl who was famous for being a main bully at our school.

Advice On Bullying

From my experience, one of the best ways to handle a bully is to deny them the reaction they want. This isn’t easy. It means staying calm, keeping your head up, and not showing fear or backing down. Remember: bullies usually act out because they are insecure and childish. You don't need to feel bad for standing your ground. They didn't care about your feelings, so you don't owe them yours.

But remember, standing up for yourself doesn't mean getting physical. Avoid fighting. Instead, use a firm voice and remove yourself from the situation.

Most importantly: do not be afraid to tell a teacher or a guardian you trust. Forget about the idea of 'snitching'. If someone is actively threatening or harassing you, that is a serious problem. You should never have to dread going to school. Ignoring severe bullying only makes it worse. Sometimes, standing up for yourself isn't enough—you need someone with actual authority to step in and put a stop to it.

Methods To Help!

Use the Gray Rock Method {Best for Narcissistic Individuals}: Difficult and narcissistic people often thrive on the emotional reactions of others to gain a sense of control or drama. By withholding these reactions, you deprive them of the "reward" they are seeking, which encourages them to eventually disengage.

-

Use the Yellow Rock Method: {Best for Toxic Environments}: The yellow rock method is a communication strategy designed to manage interactions with toxic, high-conflict, or narcissistic individuals. It modifies the traditional, emotionally flat "grey rock" technique by adding a layer of superficial politeness and professional warmth. This approach protects your boundaries while ensuring you appear reasonable, calm, and cooperative to outside observers like family court judges or human resources. When using it, you include standard pleasantries like "please" and "thank you" but strictly communicate business or logistical facts. Ultimately, it allows you to maintain peace and documentation by completely ignoring emotional bait, insults, or personal accusations.

-

Use the Kill with Kindness Response {Works best with Texting the Individual}: ou respond to aggressive insults with genuine, calm friendliness or casual agreement. Agreeing with a joke or saying "Thanks for your feedback" completely disarms their attempts to hurt you or a "I hope you feel better".

Remembering everything I strive to do in the future.

Taking a shower, it's like cleaning off all the negative energy to be honest

Find a hobby; mine is personally reading and bot creating
