Re: does "just ignore it" work for most people?

oh, you're right about the situation. it was my younger sister who said something snotty some 10-15 minutes after an argument had ended. but I was curious to peoples' experiences in any similar situation, and even though bullying isn't what I'm dealing with, I'm curious about any situation where the Powers That Be say "just ignore it!" and wondering how it worked out.

now that I think about it...I mean I wasn't actually bullied that much, I was picked on/teased a little bit (mostly in 5th and 6th grade) but it was minimal and really not life-impacting. But I've always been kinda like this, very assertive and a bit touchy, not lacking in confidence and not afraid to be blunt. I wonder if there's a big connection there - I wasn't as vulnerable as some of my peers probably were (not trying to brag here, and I have my faults - anger management has been a big one - but this I guess has been a very helpful trait too) so maybe I wasn't seen as easy meat, and people didn't think it was worth it. It kinda turns the whole "just ignore them" thing on its head, because I NEVER just "ignored" them. I always said something. And most of the time people left me alone. (Maybe it was because they thought I was ~weird~, but that suited me just fine.)
