Re: Bullying

[nyxelestia]

While you don't ask explicitly for advice, OP, that is the vibe implication I'm getting here, so here is some if that's what you're looking for (or if that's what anyone else perusing this thread is looking for). If you're just looking for personal experiences, feel free to ignore everything after this:

When I was a bully, I think I was looking for a reaction a lot, and definitely some of the people who bullied me were doing so out of the hopes of getting a rise out of me. So if the bullying is not too severe, then ignore the bullying. There will be a period of the bullying suddenly and sharply increasing, but often, if you can withstand that, then the bullying dies down because you become "boring".

If it's at school and ignoring them does not work, then start by telling a shared teacher or disciplinary dean about the problem. If they do nothing, go above their heads - take it to the principle, a district head, or even a PTA/community meeting. Kick up a fuss about the fact there is a bullying problem in your environment and no one is addressing it. (Hell, even threatening to do this can get a teacher or principal's attention - sad but true). If you know other victims, find them and try to organize to address a teacher, dean, or principal all at once.

If it's a workplace environment, similar situation - start with a supervisor, then boss and/or owner, and work your way up. Kick up a fuss. This kind of negative attention is the last thing anyone wants. If it's cyberbullying in an office environment, take the problem to HR or tech support, and parse it as a severe misuse of company materials/property that is creating a hostile and unproductive work environment - that kind of phrasing gets people's attention (sometimes, anyway).

In both cases (but especially if it's a workplace environment), do NOT threaten to go to the newspapers or media, at least not at the first few levels. That's likely to get you expelled or fired, so that if/when you do go to the media, you end up looking like you're bitter over being forced to leave instead of having legitimate concerns about the environment you were in.
