Make It Be About Them

When people bully, they are taking the stance that they believe that there is something wrong with you. One is never to blame for a bully's bad behaviour. Nobody deserves to be hurt for any reason. If you are bullied, one coping method you can use, is to make this negative behaviour be about the bully/bullies - it has nothing to do with anything which is wrong with you, or with your situation.

You can tell yourself that you never deserved to be bullied, and ignore what the bullies may do, or say about you. Remind yourself that you did not deserve any negative treatment from others - it has to do with problems that a bully has, which they are coping with through bullying you. A bully is on the exact same level as you - they have many personal shortcomings themselves, so never think that a bully is above you in any way.

Focus on those people who matter in your life - your family, friends, etc. Remember that strangers are not a part of your life, and what they say or do does not matter. Your opinion of yourself, is the only thing which matters in the end. Place emphasis on your strengths, and the things which you want to achieve in life. Talking about your experiences with others in order to gain support, may help.

Remember, you did not deserve this, and you are not alone!
