#10: All’s Well That Ends Well
Does a quick punch in the face solve all bullying problems? Probably not. At times, it definitely seems like the quickest, easiest answer, but is it effective? Unfortunately, we don’t have the answers. All we know is that bullies who talk about someone’s family are asking for a swift punch in the face, so they better be prepared for one.
Of course, we don’t advocate for violence. It’s likely best to just ignore the bully until they find a new target. As we learned here, bullies are sometimes victims of their own environmental stresses at home- but are capable of learning from their mistakes and changing. So maybe the answer is to rat them out to an adult that can help fix both of your issues.
