Yes. I know it can get really hard and sometimes you think that if you don't tell anyone it will just go away or that if you tell someone they will think you're weak, but truth is that if you tell someone you are one of the strongest people I know. In my personal experience, I was bullied without telling anyone for 4 years, once i told someone she couldn't do anything to stop the bullying but she did help me get through some really hard times just by being there and listening to me and comforting me when i would break down and talking to me when i needed a friend.
So yes, do tell someone you trust, not only will they make you feel less alone but they will also share some of the burden.
Remember to always keep fighting.

Yes! Always! It is very important that you talk to someone about what is troubling you. This way not only are you able to get it off your chest, but you are also able to ask for advice on how to deal with it. Bullying is not something that a person should have to deal with, however unfortunately it is there. But there are also things that can be done and talking to someone is one of them.

Yes! Go to your social worker at school, he can help you the most, I would also request the principal gets involved so that way it can be dealt with, i have been bullied since i was in 7th grade, and it didn't stop until i went and asked for help from teachers and staff.

Talk with someone about it and reach for help. If it's getting worse, maybe you can change your job.
You should try to communicate with the bully and if that doesn't help then you should talk to another adult

Just ignore them if at all possible, if not, tell your boss. People are stupid and they will not stop until they have to, so give them a reason to stop :)
You really don't have to deal with it if you don't want to. Perhaps talk to some sort of supervisor/manager/HR. Your mental health and happiness are important in the workplace, and it's unfortunate that you're being treated in this way.
Document everything, time, date, what happened and context. Then tell someone like a superior. Make sure you follow the employee guidelines for your workplace. If you need to seek outside help
Address the person who is doing it, show them you are not afraid, and are tired of their crap. If they do not respect you and stop, then the next thing to do is tell your employer.
Maybe try talking to your boss. Or someone who can fix this situation. If not. Talk to a loved one or a friend about how you feel. It is not acceptable for people to be bullying you at your job. And if all else fails. Get yourself out of the toxic environment. And when you do. Honestly explain to your boss why you decided to leave.
All bullies are the same. Be it at work, college, school or home. They are people who prey on the fears and insecurities of people around them. But deep down are themselves cowards. They never try to take on someone who they know wouldn't back down. They avoid confrontations where they aren't sure they would come out top. So my advice is not to back down. Even if you aren't naturally aggressive, you can do subtle things that might be helpful. I've seen people growing a beard to change people's perception about them. Similarly you can give out other subtle signals that you're not an easy target. Hope it makes sense. Ty.
Avoid the members that are bullying you. If that doesn't work out, simply ignore them or inform higher authority regarding the matter.

You will be bullied more if you responded to bullied, all they want is to see you down so you have to rise up and by your progressing work they'll stop bothering you, the more you with respond to the bullying the more they will tease you

If it's one of your peers, bring it up with them in a professional manner. If they're a jerk about it, go to human resources and tell them about your problem.
Just remember that people who bully others are hurting themselves. Try to overcome the hurt they cause and get down to the root of the problem. Be overly kind to them, because the world needs more kind people, especially kind in the face of bullying. Pray for those who persecute you!
Report it to a manager. Bullying isn't something that should be condoned anywhere and if it is then you should report it to the police as it is an offense, and it's an offense for a manager to not do anything about bullying/harassment.
Try to stay focused at your work, and make it seem as if you're not bothered so the person goes away. However if they don't you must realize this is serious offence. Tell someone you know can take action, not someone who can try to make it harder for you.

You should talk to a person who is bullying you and ask why he is doing that. He is probably feeling bad and bullying others makes him feel better.
first, try to ignoreer it. i know its hard, but jut try it. if it doesnt work, try to ask them why they are bullying you and if that doesnt work, talk to your boss

Tell you boss, if you haven't told anyone. You need to tell someone, family, friends. But your boss is the only one who can do something about it

Bullying is never acceptable, whether it is at work, at school, or anywhere else. Period.
Talk to someone about what is happening; your manager, your boss, or even corporate office. Quite often companies have an anonymous number you can call and speak to someone who is impartial to the company (meaning the number you call is an anonymous line staff by people who so not work for the company) and you can voice your concerns there.
A more direct way of handling the situation is to speak directly with your manager or boss and inform them on what is happening.
