In reply to Heather Maria. Hopefully someone would have put an end to the bullying, Heather. Like yourself, I often pray for the people who hurt me that they stop alienating themselves from others. It's bad Karma.

In reply to Meghan Humlie. Passive aggressive meanies are another kettle of fish, Meghan, and there is a way to dealing with them as I outline in my post Fogging the Critic. Truly, meanness is not confined to the playground.

I fully believe communication is key. I’m sorry to hear that she went off and bullied someone else. It is the root cause of others that creates violence and harm in our world. I always pray for those root causes to heal. It is important for us as part of society to speak up. Yes you are correct. We all need the self confidence to do so. We all need to do our part. It is important to find ways to stop harm in this world.

Useful tips, for whatever age we may be when we encounter bullies. In some ways the up front “meanies” are easier to easier when it comes to choosing a response. I have felt more distress as an adult with the passive aggressive meanies who will not openly confront, or respond. Meanness is unfortunately not confined to the playground.

In reply to Rachel Kieffer. You are right, Rachel. A delayed reaction is sometimes better because a reaction in the moment can often lead to burned bridges and the entire episode turning on us instead of the bully who can feign being the victim.

In reply to Barb Parcells. My father used to say the same thing Barb, though I didn't believe him back then. Bullies are cowards and the best way is to call them out on it. It's something they wouldn't expect their victim to do.
