Our three minutes of time was not enough. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution was there, and we were interviewed a week later for a Sunday story. Go to the source. Tell the individual to stop. Speaking to the person will show him you re serious and that he s getting to you.
Bullies are an important part of the insult picture.
Sometimes the only reason someone picks on another person is to get a reaction. Don t give bullies the benefit of getting a reaction. Also, talk to friends, family members, or other adults about bullies, and get their advice. Tell someone, and the insults will stop. Helpful insults are not healthy for people on the giving end or, especially, on the receiving end.
