How to get my parents to stand up for me against bullies instead of apologizing to avoid any confrontation?

It's always good to talk to your parents if something is bothering you, because after all they are your parents, they raised you and know what's best for you. They love and care about you. You can be sure that if you tell them how you feel and that being bullied is something you cannot deal with (nobody can really), they will listen and do best to try and help you. You can also report this to the Head person or the Principle who will look into the issue to make sure the situations like these don't reoccur. Be confident to ask for help. You are not alone.

This kind of situation can be tricky because as adults, your parents might have a hard time understanding what you're going through. Try sitting down with them and having a serious conversation. Explain exactly how you are feeling and exactly what you are going through with the bullies. Explain to them that you need help. If you still feel like you are not getting the help you need, consider talking with a guidance counselor or another adult you trust.

Your parents should be your back bone no matter what, they should be involved in your life. Tell them how it all makes you feel and they should help you out with your situation

You talk to them and explain how being bullied is affecting your life and how badly you want to change it and need their help.

Honestly, you should sit down with your parents and talk to them. They love you and will want to support you regardless. Some parents don't like confrontation, but if you explain to them that the bullying getting worse or that them not standing up to help you is hurting you more, they'll understand and more than likely try to change :)

Having an honest conversation with your parents explaining the situation and asking them to behave a specific way when dealing with your bullies next time.

You can ask your parents to have a moment for a deep conversation. There, you can share your opinion of bullying and how this action impacts a person lives even can be a reason for someone to commit suicide. How dangerous a bullying can be if nobody takes an action to prevent it. Most importantly, let them know how you feel when somebody bullies you and whether they would just stay and watch their child to be bullied instead of standing out to help.

Well your parents should stand up for you anyways because they are your parents and shouldn't care about confrontation. Just tell them that you are their child and they should stand up for you no matter what because that's what they are suppose to do.

Ultimately you are going to need to learn how to be self sufficient. Your parents enabling you isn't going to solve your problem against these bullies. You need to form solutions as to how to confront these situations and deal with them yourself. Seeking professional support is a great option to putting yourself on the pathway to learning how to deal with bullies.

When you think about how hard it is for you to change yourself, you understand how much harder it is to change others. Sometimes, especially when our parents don't seem to understand or more interested in holding onto their own ideas, or when they are willing but unable, then, we might have to study self care against bullies.

Sometimes your parents can't fix things. I know when I was getting picked on at school I would tell my older sister and she never really got the chance to do anything and then one day she went on the bus and just yelled at everyone and things were fine. The bottom line is, sometimes you just have to stand up for yourself, or sometimes you just have to show those who are bullying you is nothing you need to stoop to. You'll be okay and no matter what, you are strong and going to an adult isn't a bad thing either, you're not alone unless you don't tell someone.

You can tell your parents that you have not done anything wrong to make those people behave like that towards you. Besides, you can tell your parents that you really need their support to stand up against and protect yourself from those people. You can also tell them that if they apologize to avoid confrontations, the situation will most likely get worse for you, because those bullies are going to think that your parents are at their side.

I can relate to that... I think the most important thing is to be honest with them. Let them know how you really feel and how much it hurts to be bullied. Avoiding confrontation is always the easiest path, but it takes understanding and empathy to someone's pain to find the strength to back them up.

You can talk to them about how you dont lile what they're doing. If not talk then you can write to them that they should complain rather than apologise.

Tell them how I feel getting bullied and telling them to speak to the school or getting me out of the school

Not all adults are equipped with all the skills they need in life. I am so sorry to hear that your parents dont stick up for you. Maybe let them know how you feel or give them ideas on what they can do or say to stick up for you. Not sure if that can work in your situation, as people listen to whom they will. And sometimes parents dont listen well to their kids. If your parents won't help find another adult you trust that will, like an aunt, uncle, teacher or coach.

You should have a serious conversation with them about how it is affecting you and ask them about doing something in this case.

You have to help them feel what you're going through. If they can put themselves in your shoes they will naturally take the appropriate action. Ask your parents to think back to a time where they compromised their integrety. How did it make them feel afterwards? Did they regret their actions? Share one of your own experiences to help them open up. Tell your parents how important it is to you that they have your back on this. explain how this feels like an on-going and daily conflict and you really need to feel supported by them and that they are on your team in this matter.

Unfortunately, there is no surefire way to get people to act in a certain way if they don't will it for themselves. You can suggest to them why you feel a certain type of behavior is important, you can explain to them what it would mean to you if they acted in such a way, but there is no way to ensure that they will behave in the way you want. Probably the best thing you can do is explain to them what's going on and why it bothers you that they are non-confrontational and apologetic in these situations.

I'm so sorry to hear that you're being bullied and that you're not getting the help you need. Let your parents kindly know that you need some more support from them. It's a difficult situation for everyone involved. However, you're experiencing the bullying so if they, as fully grown adults feel uncomfortable about dealing with confrontation, ask them to consider how you feel being at the center of confrontation. If you have any particular ways they could stand up for you and you feel comfortable sharing that with them, then share that with them. If they're unwilling to assist you further, is there an administrator at your school (or if it's happening in another setting, is there an adult who will work with you)?

That is a great question. I am going to assume a few things before answering this question, apologises if that means it no longer applies to you. I am going to assume that your parents love and respect you, and that you have had conservations with them in the past about this bullying issue. I would say that your parents seem to think that what they are doing is preventing anything from getting any worse. I am saying that because that is what my parents did for a while. What changed with my situation was when I told my parents the reasons I wanted to them to intervene, and how. For me, I wanted them to talk to my teachers to keep an eye on me and my bullies, as well as discreetly back me up with the bullies' parents. Whatever it is that you are hoping their involvement achieves, work it out precisely, so that you can make a clear and coherent argument. I would imagine that your parents only want to help, but they think they know better than you in this situation, based on their own personal experiences, as is the case with most, if not all, parents and people. Therefore, it is important to hear out their point of view, and your counterpoints need to be respectful of their own viewpoints and life experience. Instead of demanding they wade in, consider discussing a game plan with them, to devise a way for them to protect you the best they can. If they still refuse, it may be worth going to your school or place of work, to explain the situation. Teachers can then look out for you, make sure you are away from them in seating plans and limit their hold over you. I am truly very sorry to hear that you are going through this, and if you want to talk more about it, I am here for you. Ciara
