This Video Will Help You Stop a Bully

Adults give lots of tips to the children who are harassed or offended by their peers. Return the blow! Do not pay attention to him! Do not get involved! Say he is a fool or bully him in return! Unfortunately, most of us do not know how to properly help a child in this situation.

Bullying is surrounded by lots of stereotypes. Some even argue that children themselves should be blamed for failing to please others. In fact, any child can become a victim of bullying, and the consequences affect everyone: both the victim and the bullies.

Brooks Gibbs, the famous youth speaker from the United States, gave pupils and parents a lesson about how to respond to bullying. He showed a very simple way of reacting to bullying and name-calling.

During the training, Gibbs suggests that the potential victim of bullying should respond to the offender’s rudeness with reciprocal rudeness, trying to defend himself/herself with the same methods that the attacker is using. As a result, the intensity of the conflict will intensify, and it will be almost impossible to stop the aggression. The abuser will then become angrier, and bullying will take an alarming turn.

The option that the coach suggests is to partially agree with the opponent and devalue his statements as much as possible:

Happiness does not depend on whether someone thinks you are cool or not. You can be happy even if someone hates you.
