[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have the POWER to do NOTHING!  That’s the upper hand. The bully wants a response.  A ‘nothing response’ is more powerful than you think. Practice being emotionless and as if you can see right through them.  You showing that you absolutely don’t care about them or their comments is frustrating to the bully. [/quote]

Yes, the bully wants a response.  But not from his victims, from his peers.

So if the victim does nothing, but other people still laugh, or if he still gets to feel 'big' in front of others, then the emotionless response is not effective.  Bc the bullying is STILL getting what they want.

This is why doing nothing almost never works.

You either need to avoid or confront.

The people that have advised avoid (ie change schools) have a point: it would end the bullying from that particular child.  But its a cumbersome response to a problem that will likely return from a different bully at the new school.

Confront is the only tool that OP's kid can keep with them and deploy as needed[/quote]
