“Bullying happens because weak people need to prop up their ego by beating up or humiliating others.” - Bruce Dickinson

A bully is a blustering, mean, or predatory person who, from a perceived position of relative power, intimidates, abuses, harasses, or coerces people, especially if they think the person, they are bullying is unlikely to defend themselves.

It is a distinctive pattern of repeatedly and deliberately harming or humiliating another. Trying to damage or manipulate the relationship of others, such as spreading rumors, or social exclusion. I have some assholes who are trying their hardest at this.

They’re often popular, charismatic, and sometimes even have cult-followings. They seem able to turn off and turn on their cruel conduct so that only victims are targeted, while other people are treated with kindness. Example: Just like a child who is bullying someone, can cover up their harmful behavior when adults are present. That is what I am talking about!

Try to remember that people bully because it can be an effective way for them to get what they want, well at least for the short term. They lack social skills to do anything without harming others. They have learned that bullying is a way of establishing dominance. Usually, they continue to get away with their poor behavior, usually because now a days, others will not speak up. For that reason, bullying carries the implicit message that aggression, intimidation, or violence is acceptable solutions to their problems when they are not.

BUT one of the most effective ways to stop bullying, is to be a bystander who does NOT reward bullies with their support or attention. Yeah that bully might try to retaliate against you too, BUT the more who stand up to poor behavior, that bully will either stop or move on.

"I am going to take a break from talking and let's listen to this:

“When people hurt you over and over, think of them like sandpaper. They may scratch and hurt you a bit, but in the end, you end up POLISHED and they end up useless!” – anonymous

You got this…I believe in you.

BUT there is nothing we could have done to protect ourselves, since every single one was done at doctors, diagnostic, hospitals, social security and the state of CO. THEY worked with third parties that stole a ton of people information. You have to think twice about any link you click on.
