Bullies only respond to 2 things: Violence or d*********. Don’t try to reason with them. And “ignoring them” doesn’t work, either. They won’t stop. You have to either physically harm them or dominate them. The mainstream, pop-psychology, trendy “advice” doesn’t work because it’s based on politically correct assumptions. Human nature is….too politically problematic for the media or academia to admit. Bullying is a culling instinct designed to get rid of the weak, not a “learned behavior”. If you’re ugly, short or physically disabled, it triggers these instincts.
