How to beat up a bully

Step 6Avoiding a fight.

Avoiding a fight.
Now you could read forever on how to win a fight
and you could take lessons in the same way, but the easiest thing is to avoid
a fight.

Now it may seem cheesy like you've heard it all before but there are some good ways
to avoid fights:

Talk it out- If you have no hope of winning a fight a good idea is to
talk with the bullies cronies as the bully most likely won't have any of it.

Friends- Most people hate bullies even people who are bigger than them
because there will always be someone bigger than you that also applies to the bully.
Heck you can even get big guys to teach you stuff about fighting and people older than you
usually like someone they can look after because it makes them feel wanted.

Hope this can help someone out there.

Thank you for this instructable. My friend and I take stuff from ignorant people every day and discussed how we can dish stuff out. This instructable will surely give us a head start.

Just wanted to say thank you for your posting. My two boys had a lifetime of being bullied in school. No one ever did anything, you can complain about it, but this seemed to make things far worse. They suffered injuries, humiliations, torn clothes, stolen items, the list is just about endless. It has caused low self esteem, and just about no confidence. this is because, the schools here have this unwritten policy the person being bullied is not allowed to defend themselves or they find themselves in detention. We think bullies are evil and losers. it's not just kids, teachers can be bullies too. In my eyes, if they don't stop the bullies when the kids are not allowed to defend themselves, then the school (s) is condoning the abuse. And no...my children are not bullies. never have been.

Have to agree about teacher bullies. Had a physEd teacher who would let the jocks beat up kids in class. I wish we had cell phone cameras back then...parents never believed me.

im having the same thing happen to me and the school system wont help me and they say QUOTEwe have a no bulling policyUN QUOTE. some guy punced me in the face and it took 5 days and my mom going up there and yelling at them to do anything and he got 1 day suspention. and now im known as a rat. trust me once they get into highschool it turns into knfe fights broken noses and getting a call from school that youre kid is in the hospital you need to take care of it before it turns into that.

My son left school because he had enough of what kept happening every day, in and out of the classroom. Australia is bad too with bullying in schools. No one should have to be forced to tolerate any form of abuse anywhere. It is sickening. I hope all works out positively for you. Bullies are disgusting; and cowards.

The way you take care of bully's is to take about 4 or 5 people who have been victimnized and waylay the creep and let the victims get him enrolled into the 2X4 club and when is all said and done make sure he is aware that you know where he lives
Mar 9, 2009. 11:43 PMmumto2 says:
fight violence with violence...doesn't really resolve anything does it? Makes matters worse in a way. We have a bizarre system that protects bullies - and no matter how many lies they tell; they are always believed. Something does need to change.

not worth it to lower yourself to the bullie's sewer standards. You're better than that. :-) The system needs to reverse and become a protectorate of victims. It is sickening this problem is world wide.

It is horrific what happens in school. I know how that feels. I have been in that situation with my boys trying to resolve abuse issues at school.
It is like talking to a brick wall though. The school and staff just don't care.
oh yes, the no bullying policy works well doesn't it. (not)
I would just like to say you are not a rat. or anything else that the bullies at school say. The best thing you can do is be the best you can be and then some. be top of your classes, work hard, and pass all of your exams at school. I know this is easier said than done when one is constantly bullied in and out of the classroom and no one does anything about it. with the in classroom bullies that the teacher ignores and does nothing about; ignore them too. Try not to rise to their baiting. that is why bullies continually bully especially in class, if they get the attention they so badly crave, they will continue to assault and be a nuisance, and they up the stakes. They are not worth your time or any effort on your part. I used to tell my boys this. My eldest got through school and graduated. My youngest - I witnessed him being horrifically beaten last year. There was a teacher present who did nothing, the school did nothing. I took my son to the front office and demanded to see the principal. That request was denied and a deputy took over who also did nothing. in fact, my son was suspended for 3 days for DEFENDING HIMSELF. I saw this boy jump my son just inside the school gate as my son was leaving he came up behind my son and jumped him, began beating him around his head and face. The reason? because my son said no to fighting him. my son's head and face was badly bruised and swollen, bleeding from his eyes, nose and mouth.
I wrote to the member of parliament, I wrote to the education department, I wrote to the newspaper, I wrote to the school. The response? silence.
except for a recent phone call asking why my son was no longer in school.
My son, 16, an 'A' student who wanted to be a vet. refused to return to school because of all the daily abuse. Issue resolved? no of course not.
it never will be. teachers here think they are above the law and do as they wish.

I have a policy with my kids that was handed down to me from my father. "You are not a punching bag. If someone wants to fight, never swing first. Always hit back at least twice as hard and twice as brutal. As long as you didn't start it, you're not in trouble." As for people saying not to sink to their level and show some maturity and do nothing, Human beings are animals on a base level. It is survival of the fittest. The weak get culled from the herd. If your kid does not respond violence with violence, they are from that point forward a target. As for the school, they are going to suspend or otherwise discipline your kid. They are right for doing so because two wrongs don't make it right. Therefore it is up to you to do what my dad did for me, when they get suspended for defending themselves... take them fishing.

sue for harassment and assalt that will put the pesron in jail and fine the schools. once they start losing money they will listen. get a lawyer and tell him what has been goin on
Feb 14, 2009. 8:33 PMmumto2 says:
in an ideal world where good should triumph over evil...yes. even the police tell you it is not worth suing because the person more than likely will not be convicted or put in jail, Getting a restraining order also takes a long time. I tried to have a boy who assaulted my son charged by the police. This boy was an ex student who trepassed onto the school grounds. My son did not defend himself, he just stood there and took it, as per school policy. all the kids just stood and watched and did nothing to help, again, apparently school policy. Though as witnesses they were not even listened to by the school. you help - you get suspended. you defend - you get suspended. Bullies are pampered , and protected. The school did nothing about the ex student who trepassed, and I was told it wasn't worth trying to take it further because no positive end would come of it. we live in a sick and twisted world with bizarre laws that protect those who do wrong. I was also told that the school was the one who had to report the incident to the police, not the parent because it was a trespass with assault. The school told me it was up to the parent to pursue the matter and nothing to do with them. A lot of 'passing the buck' and no care no responsibility. Of course nothing was done, the school apparently because of confidentialty could not release details of ex student, therefore we did not know enough - only the ex student's first name. For all the abuse my children have suffered at school by the hands of teachers and students. There will be no forgiveness. That is the only avenue open. If on the off chance, a bully suddenly gets a conscience, and decides to say 'sorry' . Their apology will never be accepted. One day their karma will bite them on their backside.

Too damn many teachers and school administrators regard bullies as their unofficial assistants in making sure that any square pegs are pounded into the round holes that the system assigns them to. Why else would they turn a blind eye to bullying and yet be so quick to stomp on any victim who fights back?
Feb 13, 2009. 3:08 AMmumto2 says:
I so agree with you. My son said to me only recently, he noticed the bullies seem to get jobs easily too. the school will be helping them there.
Sep 5, 2008. 4:19 PMlobo_pal says:
Same thing, this one jerk at my old school always gave my crap, I wanted to beat him until he was unconscious, and could have too, but I was afraid of getting expelled. I transfered to a different school the year after. Still wish I'd punched his smart mouth in.
Feb 13, 2009. 3:09 AMmumto2 says:
Glad you did not. you would have lowered yourself to his gutter trash standard. you are better than that. you showed great maturity in not doing so. glad you are in a different school now, and I hope things are much better for you.
Feb 13, 2009. 5:48 AMlobo_pal says:
Well, it was my first time in public school, in high school. I always regretted not doing something about it. At my new school where I am now a senior, I had another bully in my wood shop class, he tried to make bully me and my two friends, but I wouldn't let him, I just ignored what he said and made fun of him. I still hate that I missed an opportunity to nail him in the face as self defense.
Feb 14, 2009. 3:58 AMmumto2 says:
It never ends. There are disgusting little bullies everywhere. :-) you handled that rather well. You should be proud of yourself you did not resort to his level. You never know if the bully is on an extra short fuse and will start a fight over anything. Here, in school, if one is verbally abused only, and retaliates with physical defense, you get suspended. If one is verbally abused and retaliates in kind, and the bully is the type to go and whine to a teacher who condones what bullies do, then you get suspended too. Here, defending yourself from physical abuse in school gets you suspended, while nothing happens to the bullies. bullies are foul beings. every success to you in your senior year. May you pass all with distinction. That is the best way of handling a bully.
Feb 14, 2009. 8:47 AMlobo_pal says:
Actually, he stabbed my friend with a moving drill in wood shop, it didn't hurt him or anything, but that would have been a perfect chance for me to take him out and end it, and I could take him to. We never reported it though, because my friend wasn't hurt and didn't want to seem weak.
Feb 14, 2009. 6:31 PMmumto2 says:
My son helped his friend once in school. Another boy was beating him, my son stepped in and pulled the boy off of his friend. My son was suspended for helping. His friend was given a warning for fighting, and the bully? a pat on the back. You should have reported what this boy did to your friend. If it had been the other way around, the bully would have gone and acted out to the teacher. claiming their life was in danger, how scared they were, etc. You and your friends are not weak for reporting assaults on your person. Even if you think it is minor, due to no injury - it is still reportable because a moving drill in the wood shop is a deadly weapon. The bully's behaviour was totally inappropriate. Bullies rely on their victims silence. Sure, maybe nothing will be done about it, but you have brought it to the attention of those in charge, no matter how don't carish they are. another thing to do is to keep a diary of all assaults, with times, dates, days. who you reported to, and if anything was done about it. whether things became worse for you afterwards. When you finish school, copy all of this and send it to a member of parliament etc even if nothing gets done.
Feb 15, 2009. 10:22 AMlobo_pal says:
We tried to get him to report it, but he wouldn't so we used it to bully the bully, we said if he ever reported us for bullying him, we'd have him expelled for it because we recorded the incident. In the end, we ended up making the bully leave the class.
Feb 16, 2009. 1:25 AMmumto2 says:
Impressive. Well done. Wish tactics like that worked as well here :-)

Where? I'm in New Mexico, and that worked here.

Australia. Glad it worked for you
Feb 16, 2009. 9:30 PMlobo_pal says:
My friend is may be moving to Australia, how is the school/bully situation. Mostly, do you need to know how to fight.
Feb 17, 2009. 2:05 AMmumto2 says:
horrific. knowing how to fight in self defense, will not only get you into trouble, but also suspended from school if you defend yourself against a bully
Feb 17, 2009. 5:46 AMlobo_pal says:
What about letting them hit you, and getting evidence.
Feb 17, 2009. 2:19 PMmumto2 says:
Won't get you anywhere.
Feb 17, 2009. 5:19 PMlobo_pal says:
Even video? It's the same here, I was siting on the stairs eating lunch, when people on the ground floor start throwing crap at me. I threw one thing back at them, missed, and got detention. They got nothing.
Feb 19, 2009. 11:19 PMmumto2 says:
Even if you ignored the trash on two legs that threw stuff at you, nothing would have been done. Sorry to read you got a detention - it is the same here. As with the outcome of those that throw things..they get nothing except a pat on the back. Does it happen to you in class as well? Happened to my son a lot in class -having things thrown at him. He would tell the teacher who would tell him to ignore it, but as soon as he retaliated, he was jumped on by the teacher and given detention. The brats that threw the stuff? ...nothing at all except a pat on the back. The teachers also did nothing to stop that behaviour in class. Re getting video evidence. I actually broached the subject a few years ago with the school during one of the times I was totally fed up with all the abuse that was happening and nothing as usual being done to resolve it. I was told to gain evidence in such a manner would be considered a breach of privacy. I would have liked to have had evidence of the teacher abusing my son, as with all the bullies doing same. I have also tried resolving the issues by quoting the student rights and responsibilities back at the school. One of them being - no student shall hinder another's learning. Well, those rights and responsibilities are just ink made into 'pretty words' on a sliver of dead tree. Returning to video evidence, I have on many occasions wanted my son to wear a hidden camera on his person that would record the abuse. So I could show it to the school. Getting evidence here, is considered wrong. When kids were recording fights on their mobile phones, it was considered unstable behaviour instead of evidence. The kids that I read about were charged, and suspended.
Feb 20, 2009. 5:45 AMlobo_pal says:
There was a fight in my woodshop class, and one of the guys caught recording it was taken for using his phone in class. It was worse in my old school, but toughened me enough for my current school, so in a way I'm glad that my old school was bad. But I've found that it's easier to know how to fight, and then fight people after school somewhere. My friend had this guy in his gym class who owed him money, both freshman, so he told the guy to pay him. The guy refused, so my friend hit him with a ball in the face. The other guy attacked and got my friend in a headlock. He got out, put him in a headlock, and then hit him in the face a couple times. The guy went down, and was on the ground crying. The gym teacher saw the whole thing, but never stopped them. I'm not saying it was wrong, cause the guy is a jerk, and probably deserved it. But if my friend couldn't fight, then he just would have been another victim.
