It's scary, but you can learn how to stand up to a bully -- and come out on top. To complete this How-To you will need: Courage Wit Self-control An adult you can confide in (optional) Step 1: Be assertive Phrases like cut it out, back off, or a firm stop! can catch the bully off guard. Remember, bullies tend to pick on those who don't stand up for themselves. Step 2: Have a funny comeback Respond to a bully's taunts with a funny comeback. For example, if someone makes fun of your clothes, say, I didn't ask for your opinion, but thanks for caring, or I don't dress to impress you, so don't worry about it. Tip: When using humor to respond to a bully's taunts, keep it light -- being mean or using curse words will only make matters worse. Step 3: Don't get violent Don't get physical, even if the bully deserves to be hit. Violence will only make things worse — and may even get you in trouble. Tip: The perfect time to stand up to a bully is when there are people around who can take your side. Step 4: Tell an adult If the bullying gets to be more than you can handle, speak to an adult about it—try a parent, teacher, or security guard. You have the right to feel safe.
