Before you say anything, you will need to decide if it\u2019s safe<br \/>\nbecause sometimes it is not a good idea to confront the bully on your own.<br \/>\nThe following are examples of when it would NOT be a good idea to confront<br \/>\na bully on your own.<\/p>\n<p>The person bullying you is older or bigger than you are.<\/p>\n<p>More than one person is ganging up on on.<\/p>\n<p>You have no friends who can help you.<\/p>\n<p>No adult is nearby.<\/p>\n<p>You feel trapped.<\/p>\n<p>If you decide it is safe to confront the bully, you can refuse to be<br \/>\nbullied by taking these steps:<\/p>\n<p>Look straight at the bully with your head held high.<\/p>\n<p>Speak respectfully and use a calm, clear voice.<\/p>\n<p>Say, \u201cThat\u2019s bullying and you need to stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walk away calmly.<\/p>\n<p>To refuse bullying safely, it\u2019s important that you don\u2019t get so mad that<br \/>\nyou end up losing your temper and getting into a fight. As you refuse<br \/>\nbullying, be sure that you:<\/p>\n<p>Remind yourself to stay cool and calm by taking a deep breath. Imagine<br \/>\nyourself speaking in a strong, clear respectful voice.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that bullies are less likely to target people who are in a<br \/>\ngroup or those who walk tall with their heads held high. Even if you don\u2019t<br \/>\nalways feel self-confident, faking it is okay!<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to wear black next Wednesday to support being a Bully Free<br \/>\nSchool!<\/p>\n<p>Several churches in the community are teaming up with Salvation Army in<br \/>\nSheboygan to help families in need of assistance this Christmas.
