Move around in groups.  Stick with close friends.  I was teased and picked on alot in junior high school.  One day I just decided to ignore them.  And, you know what?  From that point on, I didn't notice whether they made fun of me or not.  I just went about my business, and chilled with my friends.\nPhysical bullying is a another story.  You will need the intervention of an adult, if that is the case.

1. My approach is to immediately put it into the hands of professionals who are hired to deal with bullies.  Tell your manager.  Call Human Resources.  If necessary, call the Police.  \n\n2. I've learned this: Don't play with them and don't tolerate the bullying.  \n\n3. No.  It's not best to bullyl back.  Bullying back changes YOU.  It turns you into the exaxt type of person you don't like.   Instead, take positive, constructive steps and insist on helping to make this world a better place.\n\n4. Being a nice person doesn't automatically make you a door mat any more than being a bully protects you from being bullied.  Where possible, ALWAYS be nice, first.  But realize that you are on planet Earth.  So, you have to be prepared to protect yourself.  And the best way to do that is NOT by bullying but, rather, by turning to the professionals who are payed to protect you.\n\n5. Again, as mentioned in my reply above, you don't have to be mean back.   Why would you want to be like the people who've caused you so much stress that you've had to take time out of your life to write about it.  Any of us can be mean.   That's nothing.   You don't want to be like that.  Be something much, much, much, much better, ok?\n\nKeep strong.  Don't fear.  And keep positive.\n\nLinkedin Recruiter

is everyone so paranoid?  i took this to mean "childern that are the same age as mine".. please add the rest of you question, so we can be more helpful...\n\nTry looking into church groups or local community centers.  You may also help your childern find new friends by getting them involved in a 4H program, Scouts, or sports (like AYSO Soccer or t-ball)  \n\nIf it's a smaller commnity, check bulliten boards... around my area events are posted on bulliten boards at post offices and grocery stores. If you find something that interests you, go.  \n\nSince you are fleeing an abusive relationship, a local shelter or simmilar service that provides conseling for people in your situation may be able to help you readjust.

Definitely do tell people about it! My daughter was bullied at school, and hated life until she was moved. Talk to the school, BUT if they do nothing, then go right to the state teaching board (not 100% sure how things work in the US) but if the school does nothing, go right over their heads. My daughter had proof that this other student had stolen her wallet, yet the school didn't want to know about it, or the many other ocassions.

Oh no, its not even close to what you're saying. Here's a few things you should know:\n\n1. There is no such thing as a bully. No one will beat you for your lunch money or anything like that. You might, however have enemies. But that's okay. If you hear someone takl bad about you, just brush it off. If you don't give them attention then they will just stop. I did this with a girl I didn't even know who hated me, and she eventually shut up since I wasn't reacting. he best thign to do is not to care, because if you do then it will cause drama.\n\n2. Friends are extremely important in middle school. Keep the ones you already have but make news ones as well. Make sure to treat everyone with respect. And also watch out for leeches, people who just like you because they mooch off you for money and homework. Help people out if they need a lend, but make sure they pay you back. If they don't stop lending. And let people see your homework, but make sure that if they take they give a little too and help you in a tight spot.\n\n3. Homework may be a little heavier than before, but don't sweat it. Usually it helps to pay attention in class, that way you don't have to study so hard or cram for tests. And make sure to know your classes well and make yuor schedule fit the classes that need the most work and the classes that are easy. Remember: NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES think you can do all your homework before nine when you start at eight. Unless your homework is nothing, then it will take you longer. Also, if you have a light workload and have a project due in awhile make time for that so you won't do an entire project in one night. Those tend to be really bad.\n\nJust be smart and keep your friends. If you're having a tough week make some time for a nap or relaxing. It will help out a lot. The best thing to do is have one long bubble bath every week along with the usual showers. \n\nIt may seem complicated now, but don't sweat the small stuff. It comes naturally after a month or two.

ignore him/her. if they are abusive, chances are they are looking for the feedback to let them know that they are getting to you. life is to short to sweat the small stuff.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Don't let them run over you, but I promise it you start being assertive and treat them with love and kindness, they will stop.

hide.  Seriously, though, the key is self-confidence, if you're confident about yourself, or even if you pretend to be confident and ignore the people who are bullying you or even laugh at them.  I used to be bullied at my old school, I realise now that most bullies are motivated by bad feelings about themselves and they try to boost their ego by making other people feel bad too.  It's pretty hard, but don't let them see that they're making you feel bad.  Stand up straight, ignore them, laugh at them, and don't let them see that they're hurting you.

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.

Just:\n1. Trust yourself... If you don't trust to yourself, then nobody will do.\n2. Be confident... If you're afraid of the bullies (If you have), show them what you've got! But don't be so over-confident.\n3. Don't forget to practice... Practice makes perfect.\n4. The best advise I could give is to pray. Always remember that God always guide us.\n\nGOOOOOD LUCK=)

If this person is your friend, you should be able to tell him/her that enough is enough already, and to stop. \n\nIf he/she doesn't stop teasing....\n\nDo you know your friend's parents?  Let THEM know what's happening.\n\n"I always felt _____ and I were friends.  But when I started this special PE class because I've got health/physical problems, he/she started teasing me a lot, and I wish he/she'd stop."\n\nIf you don't think his/her parents will help, or you don't know them, say the same thing to your case manager or a school counselor. Hopefully, both you and your friend will get pulled in to a meeting together to deal with it.\n\nIf you don't think any of these things will help, then the person is NOT your friend.  Report them for bullying (that's what this sort of teasing really is).  This person is making the choice to bully, so he/she should have to deal with the consequences.

The best way to approach a person with a bad attitude is with a smile.  \n\nBe very respectful to this person as they sound like they may have an over-inflated ego and need it to be stroked often, hence the abuse.  \n\nStay focused on the reason you are approaching this person, even if this person tries to distract you to another subject.  \n\nBe polite and calm and most of all professional.  \n\nMost important, do not be intimidated by this person.  This person, considering what you stated about them, will most likely look at this as a weakness and not take you seriously if you behave intimidated.\n\nGood Luck!

Where can I begin? There are lots of reasons to why people pick on small people.. The most important one is BECAUSE THEY ARE LOSERS! They want to feel like if they are worth something and picking on people make them feel like if they are important. One of the things you can do is stand up for yourself, don't let anyone make you feel like crap. The best way to make them feel like crap is by ignoring them when they try to put you down! And by being better than them, by getting great grades and being an honorable student.. Imagine 10- years from now... You get into a great college and your defenitely doing something great with your life... Where is the damn person who used to bully you?? Working at Mc Donalds!!! hahahh.... Trust me this will happen!! Keep your head up!

I would contact your local police station often times police departments have a program in place where they travel from school to school and talk about safety, not to mention bullying. I would also see if my local or reference library has a video. Also participating in role plays with kids demonstrating the do's and dont's is highly effective since it is hands on.
