When I was bullied at a young age, I learned who my true friends were. I acted as if their bullying didn't bother me, as much as it really did. When I stopped giving them the satisfaction of seeming upset, they quickly left me alone and moved on to their next target. It was really hard to act like I didn't care, but you are STRONG and you can do it too! I promise you'll get through this :) Best of luck.

It depends what sort of bullies they are. Sometimes reporting them to the authorities and having them justly punished is enough to deter them, other times not, or the people in authority won't believe you. Sometimes the whole jazz of being assertive and telling bullies how you feel and not reacting doesn't work out. Sometimes you have to fight back, sometimes it's a bad idea to do so. And this doesn't only just depend on who you're dealing with, it varies across contexts and situations as well. Mostly it's a matter of developing your instincts and trusting yourself.

Bullies can be very difficult to deal with and every bully is different. You will never truly know why they are "bullying" you unless you ask. I mean, you could always ask for the help of others (parent, teacher, any adult figure) or you could try and find out the root cause of the bullying. It all depends on what you are the most comfortable with.

Smile at them. Show them you are strong and don't let their words bring you down. When they see they are having no effect, they will probably leave you alone. Now, this next part is the most difficult: forgive them. Let it go and don't hold a grudge because if you do, it means they have succeeded in making you unhappy long term. They made a mistake, they are only human. Be happy and content because you are loving and forgiving.

If you can't beat them join them. If they laugh and make fun of you, laugh with them, deep inside you know that you are not those nasty insults that they call you. If possible avoid the places that they hangout around. If things are too scary and dangerous, please don't hesitate to report this to your parents/guardian and teacher.

Bullies are like dogs. They smell fear. You need to develop an inner confidence so that you can powerfully ignore them when they try to goad you into a bad situation. The best way to develop this is to bully someone else. LOL I AM JUST KIDDING! I couldn't resist, sorry :) The best way to do this is to get in touch with YOURSELF. What are your hobbies, interests, and skills? WHAT IS YOUR SUPERPOWER? This will 1) Give you confidence not to be affected as much by their teasing and 2) you will meet friends with your common interest. How do I know this? I was bullied in middle school. But I always pretended like I didn't care and it didn't bother me, and at lunch time with my friends the bullies never bothered me. Sometimes it was scary when I was alone but eventually at about 9th grade they stopped. You will see with time most bullies are losers who lead sad lives and that's why they are mean to others.

You have to tell some one, doing that might make you think that's making things worse but it's the only effective option because no one deserves to be bullied

How I got my bullies to leave me alone was to actually tell a teacher and then tell the bully myself that I won't stand to be picked on and teased.

I would possibly involve the teachers and parents. If you can't handle the bullies or make them listen to your request, then maybe the parents or teacher will have a better chance of convincing them.
