physical action doesn't always *only* have negative results. you know, i'm not condoning violence; i hate violence, and i'm not saying it's the only way, but i'm not going to try and say everything's going to be fine if you just sit around and ignore them. i hate to say it, but sometimes that's just not good enough.

my fights have been a mixed bag: i lost a few, (and since i did something really stupid in one of them, i was mocked for a long time for it), but i also won a few, which gained me a few weeks of popularity.

but if it gets down to it, and there's no other way, i personally think it's better to just let it happen, as long as you believe in yourself and your victory (also keeping in mind the risk of detention or in-school-suspension). LIKE I SAID, it's not right, it's bad, but worse things happen when people are bullied too long without resolution.

this probably isn't what people want to hear, but heh, a lot of things that come out of my mouth (keyboard?) aren't.

Depends what the situation is.

sitting around and somthimes they get bord and stop. but others they carry on it also depends on the person aswell, you might feel your not going to sink to there level. Its a very contrivertal thing it is

Agreed. Take that kid slamming that bully at that school for instance. Kid did the right thing.

Problem with that is: Fighting back only has negative results.

Sometimes it does take physical action, but usually no more than grabbing the antagonist's shirt collar and using a serious voice of annoyance.

I guess one thing you can do is surround yourself with friends. If they talk about you. You have people that have your back.
