Solutions

Here are some solutions to Physical Bullying. None of these solutions are guaranteed to work but never try to hurt anyone.


 * NOTE: WE DO NOT ADVOCATE FOR ANY PARTICULAR SOLUTION. THE CHOICE WILL ALWAYS BE YOURS.  WE SPEAK THE UGLY TRUTH AND WE WILL NOT CAPITULATE TO TRITE SOCIAL STANDARDS.

Peaceful


1) Tell a teacher/school administrator : This is the common step 1 for a lot of people. However, sometimes your school does not listen. This opinion (of course) is drawn from the innumerable amount of suicide stories resulting from a school not listening to a bullied student. The truth hurts.

2) Tell Friends/Family : Let friends/family handle the situation. You have been through enough. Provide as much support as possible without "putting your own neck on the chopping block". Trust in those you hold closest as they will be your most valuable asset.

3) Befriend Your Bully: This will take a lot of mental toughness: to stare your tormentor in the eye and ask him/her for their companionship. Learn what motivates your bully to harm you. Help them solve their problem. They may become a friend for life. WARNING: this will entail a heart-to-heart or two ...so be ready to open yourself up and share your emotions.

Belligerent
1) Seek Legal Retribution : This will be very expensive and give you a lot of publicity (positive and negative). Photograph/document your injuries and laywer up! You are going to sue your bully and see that he/she gets a nice jail sentence to think about their crimes or a hefty fine. Physical bullying falls under the realm of assault which is punishable by law.

2) Run: No shame in running. It won't hurt half as bad as a black eye or cracked rib.
