Were you that fat little kid that always got picked on by the bullies at school? Bullies are not nice people. They prey on the weak and cause enormous emotional damage that can last throughout your life. Most bullies themselves have a lot of emotional problems. They try to release these problems by using violence. There are a lot of different opinions about the best way to combat bullying in school.

Here are four instant ways you can fight back against the bullies:

1. Look them in the eye.

Try to stare in the eye and see if they flinch. When you stare at them, don't be scared. Try to think that you are stronger than them. When the bully sees this, they know that you are not scared of anything and they actually can become afraid of you.

2. Ignore them.

This is perhaps the most effective way to fight against bullies. What bullies crave most is attention. If you take that away, they lose the power over you. However, it can be hard at first when they taunt you with names but eventually they will get tired and pick another target.

3. Make fun of them.

Bullies are people just like you. They have feelings. When they pick on you for no reason, you have the right to make fun of them. It could be anything like the size of their pants to the color of their hair.

4. Tell their parents and the school

It is best to let the school know that you are being picked on. It is your right to feel safe and secure. Don't let it go on for too long as he may pick on other children.
