What the heck?
I am surprised at the last 4 posts, excluding Zachcharge.
ADULTS get BULLIED, yes 30,40 year old get bullied at work.
Someone in a previous post talked about hardening up, but also expressed how in most cases it doesn't fit (i think I remember).
People are forgetting we are NOT talking about "oh, ur fat hahahaha" one-off's.<<we CAN deal with these
Bullying is CONTINUOUS, NOBODY in the world, NOBODY can deal with being called names, verbal and or physical abuse all their life.
Have you's forgotton bullies don't "stop" or "go away" even when you "harden up" and tell them "okay thats enough now go away".
How do you "harden up", go to gym? U want every person in the world to "get muscles", or do u want them to say "oh, ur hurting my feelings can you stop"......what do u define as "hardening up"? Or, is it "do it again/mess with u and ill bash you?"
Fail, fail, fail, all of the above choices are the ONLY ones which exist, and all of them still cause bullying to occur
1= U ignore it thus "hardening up" = bullies see it as giving in, and thus continue
2=u tell them "ill bash you" as a way of "hardening up"= they get angry and bully you more
3= tell a teacher or co-ordinator = they get suspended most LIKELY. These days more and more get suspended because bullying isn't accepted.
As the above poster said, you also have the issue of those <5 years old
