Encouraging people, speaking up against social evils and motivating them
I made a stop bullying on the other forums and some(idk if they are here or not) did say they were bullied. Bullying exists everywhere and it is our duty to stands up against them

How would I stop bullies? By being more mean than they are. It doesn’t make you mean, but sometimes you have to release your inner monster. Not really a pacifist, but this approach seems to work for me xD

Sure. Something can’t work for everyone.

One time there was this really mean girl at my old school who was “friends” with my sister, she and her were partners for an art project and it seemed like she was making her do all the work and bossing her around, and my sister just… sat there. So I went up to her and told her to do some of the work and maybe stop bossing her around, because it seemed like she was. She then went extreme on me and went to go get a teacher, other people following her to stop her. I didn’t really know what was going on so I just stayed there, scared out of my mind. A teacher came and asked if I was okay, I don’t think anyone got in trouble but she told everyone to get back to work. I’d say that if you see bullying, always stand up for other people. People can find it hard to stand up for themselves and having support helps.

Bullies will be bullies. Sometimes, there’s nothing you can do about it. 
You can try stop it by:
- Being firm and assertive.
- Standing up to others being bullied.
- Avoid being a bully.
- Not showing a reaction.

I honestly just ignore them. People tend to bully me without making it obvious. I’m often the target of the “popular group” and they’ll just talk about me to my face and all that lovely stuff.
They only do it cause they know I won’t do anything about it.

Okay here is my advice.
If you see somebody sat on their own then talk to them make sure they’re okay. I’m not saying go up to them like “are you okay?” Because that can be a bit embarassing. Just talk to them using small talk or just about random things, compliment their clothes or something just…be nice. Even if they’re just waiting for somebody, having a conversation can be nice.
You might think to yourself “maybe they want to be alone”. People who want to be alone generally don’t sit where they will be noticed, it’s like a subconscious cry for help.
I spent so long sitting on the couches in my college longing for somebody to sit next to me and talk to me, then I made friends and realised I should try and be that person that people can just talk to.
I know it’s hard and trust me I struggle with social situations but I still try and rise above that and push through. Even if I do start over thinking and regretting my facial expressions, pronounciation and other bs things my brain is telling me I’m doing wrong. Because I know that if I just have a conversation with somebody who is by themselves it can make their day a little better.
As for bullying in itself, always make sure you look at your own behaviour and see how it is percieved. Try not to be a bystander and stand up for yourself.
Always remember, you’re not alone and there is always somebody to talk to. Even if you have to go looking

People can be genuinely toxic.
They’ll deny it, they’ll lie, they will manipulate you and make you feel like you need to trust them and that they truly care about you.
They don’t.
Because if they did, they wouldn’t do that to you. And they certainly wouldn’t take advantage of you.
I’m not saying avoid people, but know what you’re getting into once you start any kind of relationship with someone.

Being nice won’t hurt lol, idk why people are rude for no reason because it definitely doesn’t suit them.

I’m so sorry to hear that.
The next time he/she uses offensive words, you can say it’s uneducated for him/her to say that. Be nice on the first few times. Kill them with kindness.
If he/she continues, then insult the person with words. Fight back. Twist their words into something they’ll be shameful of. Be confident in yourself.
