A stand against bullying

A stand against bullying


It's hard to face a bully. It doesn't matter if the bully is in your home or is outside. In your face or online. It's brings up feelings of hurt, anger and isolation. Sometimes you have to face your bully on your own. Sometimes you have back up. Standing up to a bully does help the person who is being bullied. It empowers them. If others are with them, it helps to forititify their sense of self.
Yay. We got rid of the bully. We ran the bully out of town. But what about the next town? The next person the bully will come across?
It's hard to face a bully. But it's harder to fix the root problem. Why is this person like this? What made them so negative, where they have to infect those around them with negativity?
Negativity is like a cancer. If you let it grow, death follows. Do we help negativity grow by feeding into it? Or do we respond with positivity and choke it off at the root?
Now I'm not saying, don't defend yourselves. What I'm saying is... If someone has a negative comment to say about you. Ask them why are you so unhappy? Why do you feel the need to hurt me as much as you must be hurting? Confront the issue.
If you feel good about yourself, there is no need to make others feel bad. So if a person goes around making others miserable, then they must be miserable themselves.
Yes you can just chase away the problem. But the problem just goes somewhere else. Disclaimer: Please dont think that I'm Miss Pollyanna ( I love that movie). If someone lay hands on me or mines, I will let all kinds of crazy out and whoop that ass.
But at the end of the day, that the last resort. Hate begets hate. Understanding and communication goes a long way.
My two cents
I'm new, don't kill me
P.S I have nothing that's pink

Very well put. Hate begets more hate and the anger grows. I'm in my late 50's and put much of the blame on my generation. We were to self absorbed in our own wants and desires that our children suffered. And they took their anger out on others. And they raise their children like they were raised. Parents now days really don't do things with their kids. They leave it to TV or video games or social media to raise the kids. When is the last time you saw a dad outside playing baseball with his kids? Sad, very sad.

I have been blessed with not having to deal with much bullying as I was growing up. My circle of friends was very close but also open to new girls as they came to town which could have helped somewhat. Standing up for myself has been one of my strengths but also standing up for others. Nothing makes a bully tuck tail and run more than a group ready to deal with her. Never give up the fight.

That's so true. Bullies wont attack a group. But have you noticed that bullies never go after those who are self confident. They always attack those who appear to already have sef esteem issues. I always felt that bullies pick on those who refect what they themselves feel. Small, undervalued and alone.

Thanks for the input. Parents are supposed to be our first teachers. But like you said, TV, games and social media are raising our children. What social skills or even life skills is it teaching? Would it be the same skills that we would want them to have?

Your post makes an excellent point...
I have engaged the bully in question (mostly because it is really, REALLY hard to bully me, I'm more likely to laugh and poke fun back) and there isn't any dialogue back. That particular bully doesn't want anyone to engage them. She just wants to do as she pleases. She blocked me a long time ago, yet felt free to come over to my blog and make comments. I have never been rude back and genuinely would love a give-and-take conversation with her. Alas, somethings that I want just don't come to pass.

Your last comment of "I'm new, don't kill me" made me laugh!

You're right, sometimes dialogue doesn't work. But you're still doing the right thing by dont paying the negative no mind. Personal story, at work there's this woman. Everyday, she tells me my laugh is annoying and she hates my smile. My voice grayes on her nerves. I one time confronted her on it. Things didn't change. But she's not hurting me. I smile more. I laugh more. I am me. My happiness is internal, not external. You seem to be the same way. Thanks.
