Tips & Warnings
Once a bully learns that he can't affect you with his behavior, he stops coming after you and turns his attention toward other, easier targets.
Involve an adult after every case of bullying. It's not tattling when you're asking for help.
Don't attempt to get back at a bully after you're embarrassed by one. You may cause yourself more trouble when the bully retaliates and escalates the situation.
