I'm actually pretty good at dealing with them. It comes kinda naturally to me, but it's really hard for a lot of people.
I simply ignore them.
It seems counterproductive at first. If toi ignore them, toi can't defend yourself, right? But if toi truly do ignore them, completely and totally, it's probably the best way of defending yourself, although it's also probably the hardest.
When you're bullied, toi want to cry, toi want to scream at them, toi want to run off. But toi have to resist those impulses. toi can't even acknowledge these bullies' existence. It's really hard, I know. I carry a book around with me all the time, so if needed, I can pretend to be reading, and I won't react at all to them. Don't say, "Do I hear something?" ou anything that might acknowledge them in the slightest. It's hard, but toi won't need to do it for long. They'll usually stop after a very, very short time.
Why does this work?
They get bored. They do it to get a reaction out of you, and that is what impresses their Friends ou satisfies them ou whatever it is they want, depending on the bully at hand. But if there is no reaction from you, they aren't impressing anyone, ou they aren't satisfying themselves, ou whatever they're after. They get bored.
