The Most Affective Strategy When Faced with a Bully

We all know that bullies thrive on a reaction.  When they can see their words and actions are having an impact it fuels them and they keep going.  They thrive on feeling powerful and dominant.  As a result we often tell kids to not show they are bothered by what is being said or done.  But that can be easier said than done particularly when the bully is using something they know you are already self-conscious about such as your appearance.  

The best defence against bullying is a strong sense of self (self-confidence, self-esteem, self-belief and self-worth) yet most kids understandably struggle to feel good about themselves in the face of someone bullying them.  So what can they do instead?  I’m getting to that I just want to remind you of something first.
