Why is it easier to accept the bullying in the hopes it will go away, rather than stand up against it?

Bullying is occured towards weak people. I know its hard to accept, my dear questioner, but thats the truth. Bullies prey on kind, gentle, easy going people who are bit asocial and dont stand from the crowd. Because they are good people, they dont want to do bad things. Bullies despise that (because they have their own issues, whether they are suffering from a dissorder or a tough situation at home for an example) and take advantage of that (because they know they can do it and it gives them pleasure). It is a physical abuse that makes it harder for the victim to speak (out of fright of more physical pain) but mental abuse (like name calling, offending) can cause life long scars. In start, the victim is in shock that it happens to her and later on just gets used to the feeling of hopelessness and despair. Sooner you stand up to a bully, the better. But never use your fists. Use words, but not towards them. Towards your family. Towards your friends. Towards your teachers. Towards your colleauges. Towards anyone who can stop it! Bullies are cowards in heart and back off easily when they reach a problem. Sooner you stand up to them and open to someone, sooner theyll leave you alone. Hope this answer helps.

Bullies tend to thrive on reaction which is why people suggest not standing up to them. Though this advice should not be followed blindly as every situation and person is different. Some people, myself included, just don't care about what others say (or at least pretend), others are more sensitive and can't help feeling attacked or humiliated when being bullied. Sometimes it's beter to talk things over, other times better to ignore them and if all else fails it's sometimes beter to try and get as far away from them as possible. They are bad energy in your life and you shouldn't let it harm you.

Its easier because its easy to run away from a situation and your fear stops you from standing against them...You should act sensible and see that in the situation..What you should do and do it..If you wait you might over-think it!

In my personal experience standing up to them rarely works, it is often better to try to ignore it which i know is hard, if it is physical bullying then this you may need to speak to someone of authority that you feel will listen to you, but as far as verbal bullying this can be gotten past and in the end it builds your character and makes you a stronger person.

Those who are bullied are always are in the hopes it'll go away at some point. But those who bully tend to pick on those who are timid and not so vocal. Individuals who are bullied probably wonder the consequences or worry for their own self if they create a bigger problem than what it already is. On top of that, some people just don't know how to stand up to a bully, they might also worry it could make matters worse.

Standing up can put people at a greater risk of danger; it is best to put your safety first. Acceptance is key to being able to properly handle the pressure of bullying.

Standing up against takes courage and strength, and sometimes people haven't realized that it lives within them. It's easier to accept it in hopes you won't draw attention to yourself or worse it'll increase when you do stand up.

I think sometimes because acceptance as a known quantity, is seems safer. You feel like you know what will happen if you lay down and take bullying, where as standing up - who knows what can happen? Plus confrontation takes effort and can be hard - and apathy and acceptance seem easier. But bullying does damage deep down that can affect you for a long time to come - it destroys your self worth. If you're not able to make a stand (which sometimes tackling bullying can realistically be too difficult), then it is worth making sure you're actively seeking support and compassion to help make sure your situation does the least harm to you.

Because you feel it is easier but yiu dont realise what you are doing can get tiugh to handle its always better to let somebody with aauthority to noe about it even if you have to drag youself out of it..

It might be easier to accept because you are afraid to stand up. You might be afraid that it will get worse or you are afraid to get in trouble for standing up. When I was in school, I stood up to no one until one day my dad (who was bullied until he became the bully) set me straight and told me that he didn't care if I was going to get in trouble. He said if someone bullies you, you have to stand up or it will keep happening. Don't let standing up get to you to the point that you become the bully.
