Bullying is common thing that happen in school or workplace. Approximately 25% of school kid in U.S is being bullied everyday and it seems no one take it seriously.

Treat bullying as serious matter is the right choice because lives could be at stake. There has been a lot of prove that bullying can kill someone even cyber bullying.  It is estimated that 15 to 25 children commit suicide every year due to bullying.

Bullying commonly take place in school but it can also take place in workplace or other places. The most vulnerable to suicide from bullying is children ranging from age 11 to 15.

So How Do You Stop Bullying?

First of all when you are the target of bullying you need to stop it at the bully first attempt as this would make you clearly say that you are not a prey. However, if you are being bullied for some times and not the first attempt this clearly harder because it mean want to say I had enough of being prey.

Tell someone. This is a clear action and the first step to stop being bullied. Even though it seem the best decision most of the time it didn’t work. Telling teacher and school faculty show that you are being bullied rarely make a difference because most of the time teacher aware of the bullying that happen in the school but act as it is normal thing. Other people who saw the bullying happen usually don’t do anything to stop it either because they are afraid they become the target or they thought it was normal. The most effective someone to tell if you are being bullied is your older brother and sister who happen to school at the same school as he/she know the condition more better.

Avoid if possible. This would work if the bully is a stationary bully where he only bully in his usual hang out place. If this the bully is a stationary bully then it is piece of cake because all you have to do is avoid that place (what are you doing in that place at first anyway? Trying to test your luck or how tough you are?).

Be brave but not in a provocative way. You should’t look scared but you don’t want to provoke the bully either. Just act cool and stay cool.

Should you fight back? In the popular video Zangief kid as pictured above where a skinny bully try to bully a fat kid where it ended with the skinny bully smacked down hard. It ended with the internet horde hating the skinny kid and making the other kid the internet hero.

Of course this only happen one in a million because most of the time the bully would be bigger and stronger where in this rare case the skinnier bully try to bully a big prey which is a wrong move. The most important thing is not about how the kid beat the bully in an awesome way but about the bullying information that leak to the public.

If the video isn’t going viral or it never got out then the bully can just make a revenge the other time he see him by bringing more guys or using weapon. He don’t get his revenge because everyone know about the bullying that he is doing and he would be more ashamed if he do it again.

So the vital information here is that if you want to stop bullying all you need to do is get the info and prove to the public. Getting a video of you getting abuse or your children getting abused can be a strong leverage either for the school to take it more seriously, take it to the internet to tell everyone what is going on in your school, or just to shame the bully for what he is doing.

Here are some of other videos like zangief kid: Subway bully and Teenage bully.
