outright neglect of parents. Some also show

instilling in their minds that violence should

large population, kids are not well-
supervised. Children may have the feeling

being caught.

temper gets out of control, the more you only
allow the bully to control you. When you give
in to range, you may also do things that you
will later regret.
38. Do not think of revenge. Sure, being a
bullying victim is a painful experience. But
that is not an excuse to think of revenge.
Always bear in mind that when you do so,
things will just backfire, often leading to
more serious consequences.
39. Get away quickly when things get heated up.
You may already know some bullies in your
school or workplace. It is best if you steer
clear of them. As some say, “better swift than
sorry”.
40. Speak up for yourself when physical bullying
persists. Choose a particular time to talk to
the bully. Be calm. As you look him in the
eyes, talk to him with a firm voice. Tell him
outright that you do not like what he did to
you. Do not give in to any of his insults and
challenges.
41. Talk to your parents/teachers about the
physical bullying incidents that you
encounter. Be open to your parents. They
understand your predicament. They will
protect you from any challenges in life you
face, including physical bullying.
42. Always remember that you have a value as a
person. Sometimes, bullying victims think
that it is their fault why they have been
victimized by bullies. But in truth, no one
deserves to be bullied. You are indeed valued
as a person.
