I'd have just sat there and let them have their temper tantrum. I wouldn't have confronted them because that is dangerous to you. You never know who might be packing a gun in their car. In the future, just let them stew in it and you sit there calmly ignoring them.

Tough one.  These scenarios usually become an issue over time, so a quick fix is usually not the best.  Aggressive individuals usually prey on others that allow "bullying" tactics.  As the aggressor sees the weakness, they get comfortable treating the person like that over time and expect a certain response.\n\nIf you want to curtail the behaviour, start standing up in a non-offensive manner and tell him why you can't stay late or work weekends or whatever.  Make excuses, even lie if you have to. Just make it difficult for him to expect the unreasonable.

If they are not coming anymore, then let it be. They are sulking. What you did ie telling them and insisting that they call is a very brave thing to do. Keep it up and do not allow them to bully you.

You should report this person and make sure they're expelled...make a stand and show that you're not afraid...but try not to get into a fight if you can help it

Believe me, the only effective to stop them is fighting back, if you can beat the crap out of them, it's best, if you can't, it's better to get beaten up by bullies than just sitting there doing nothing, resort to cop/parents/friends can only provide temporary relief, if you want to end it, you get to stand up for yourself, there is no other way around.

The general advice given out is don't suffer in silence.\n\nThe best thing you can do is to tell someone who can do something about it. Bullying needs to be stopped at the earliest possible point. \n\nCheck out http://www.bullying.co.uk/children/pupil_advice.htm for some practical advice on how to stop the bullying.\n\nPlease remember that you are not alone.

I know what it's like. Always being picked at, Laughed at, and even shoved out. But I learn from them. I know it sounds crazy but it's true. anywayz, my advice to you is first you need to tell someone about it. whether it be your teacher or your parents. if the bullying doesn't stop, take matters into your own hands. i'm not saying to fight the guy (although that is an option for a much, much later use) but to sorta use your head to out smart him. If he still continues, take a stand and MAKE the school move him to another class and to keep him away from you or else you sue.\nI'm pretty sure that you'll won't have to go that far but just try and find out what's his problem and try and help him. Hey who knows maybe you'll actually become friends.\n       Good luck ;)

it depends. r they bullying u physically?  r they threatening 2 hurt u?  Or r they just verbally bullying and calling u names?  I've been verbally bullied b4.  I've been called a toothpaste eater, ugly, stupid, and stuff like that.  Then one guy threatened 2 shoot me.  I would say tell your parents or complain 2 the school.  Ignoring them may help or hurt depending on the situation.  Hang out w/ your friends as much as u can cuz bullies r less likely 2 hurt u w/ a bunch of people around. I know what u r going thru tho:)

You sound like a kid, with the bus stop thing, so I would talk to your parents.  They can then talk to the girl's parents and explain the situation.  You could also look into talking to the bully's parents, and see if they won't make him pay for it

This is hard to answer due to the fact that there is information missing about the specific circumstances, but I will give it my best...\n\nWith any confrontational situation, the first step is to acess the danger you may be in.  If the situation appears out of control or threatening to you, you should remove yourself from the environment and contact the authorities as quietly and discreet as possible.\n\nIf however, it is not immediately threatening or the person(s) are just very upset, your goal should be to diffuse the situation.  This is accomplished in most cases by allowing the person to vent a little and listening to their concerns.  Taking notes and responding with confirmational nods and "yeses".  After a short time, explain that you have no reason to doubt their claim and it would not hurt to apologize for their experience.  Then proceed to explain that you are going to do everythiing you possibly can to help them, but they need to remain calm and show you the same respect you are showing them.  This works with most people....if they can see that you care about their situation, they feel better....especially after they have vented and got some tension off their chest.  However, you mentioned that these are gang members?  Again, if they are threatening to you, I would not try to negotiate with them, I would contact the authorities.\n\nBe careful and good luck!

"Im not againts [sic] hitting people that are gay..." \n\nYeah, we get that.\n\n"But I gave him two warnings to stop, and its not like I could go anywhere since I was stuck in the car. Was I wrong to deck him for not stopping?" \n\nWould you have hit this person if it were a woman? Or would you have found a less violent way of affirming your personal space? Somewhere, you got the idea that it's acceptable to resolve your disagreements through physical violence. Big man you are.\n\n"Do you think that he was trying to hit on me?" \n\nI don't know. Maybe he just has extremely poor boundaries. People who can't keep their hands to themselves are obnoxious.\n\n"What would you have done in that situation?"\n\nI would have removed his hand and I would have given him a piece of my mind from the start. I also would have stopped making out with the girl because, not only did watching you feel her up seem to encourage him to feel you up, it's also rather gauche to make out in mixed company.

Well first thing I'd do is make sure the kid that pushed you stops messing with you. I would start by letting one of your parents know about the problem or you could go to the Principle of your school since it happened at the bus stop.  Which ever you decide I think the guy who caused the problem should have to pay the price not you. If nothing else works I'd open a can of whup-ass on the fool who pushed you. You might still have to pay for the torn pants but the guy might not mess with you after that.

being a bully is one thing. Harassment is another. If he has crossed that line then you have a duty to report his inappropriate behavior to management.  If he's just giving you a hard time try your best to ignore the pinhead. Then.....Fire his butt as soon as you get the chance

What da hell should we do? Just sit there? If we like someone, we try. Would you like everybody to run away when they see you?\nI have to agree that some are annoying and totally suck at it, some are aggressive ...but that's why you have court orders for! :D

go up to them and say something on lines of: 'excuse me, i don't mean to be rude, but i was wondering whether it would be possible and considerate of you to turn down the volume'. if however they refuse, or become aggressive, try not to get into a slanging match. but with some kids nowadays who are rude enough to answer back  in a disrespectful way  it is so difficult to avoid. tell the driver when you're on the bus the situation you're dealing with here. if he does nothing, tell him you'll take the matter further with london transport. get off the bus and get on an alternative one. \n\ni wouldn't have to guts to tell them to their face because i am not very good with confrontation and i worry about getting the crap beaten out of me afterwards. it annoys me too. i listen to my music on the bus but i always keep the volume down and still be able to hear my music.  besides, i don't understand those who have the voume up so high on the mp3s, ipods or whatever that every passenger on the bus or tube can hear it. its as if they're a) deaf or b) they stupidly think everyone wants to hear their music

Hi Jani!\n             Bullys are usually cowards.\nIt is best to ignore them pretend that you have your hearing aid turned down they only continue this type of behaviour if they can see that you are intimidated.\nStand your ground hold your head high smile and move on through.\nCarpe Dieme "sieze the day it is there to be enjoyed.
