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

From my perspective, it is easier due to that you just accept the fact that you are being bullied with no logical justification -bullying never needs a justification- by people who most of the times never care about the person the bully and neither themselves. On the contrary, acknowledging your value and uniqueness and standing up against it it’s the hard way. And if you want my opinion, it is the wiser one. Bullies are not people who want to be better. Most of the times they are people who just want to get out of their problems and find solutions such as bullying others. One thing you could do is ask them or he/she if they need your help to overcome something that concerns them. Another way -that I highly value as an individual- is to understand that you are unique. Don’t let people who don’t care about your well-being take your uniqueness away. Build on that! Good luck!
