You should never feel the need to change the way you look or act. It is your own personality. Those bullies do not know what is good for them, nor do they know how amazing you are.
Dealing with bullying?
Takes less than a minute. Keeps 7 Cups free for someone else.
A small contribution goes straight to keeping the community running.

I don't think you should. When I was bullied, I very quickly tried to conform to the way those who were hurting me. It didn't change the way they acted. It only changed the way I felt. I felt dirt, for I was no longer true to who I was and who I wanted to be. I didn't get rid of any of the bullies. In fact, by denying who I really was, I ended up bullying myself.

No. You shouldn't change yourself, especially if you are comfortable and like yourself the way you are. The best revenge towards bullies is to ignore them. They want a reaction, they want to see you react in some way - and the best reaction is no reaction. Don't change yourself so others accept you. :)

Hell no! Don't let society tell you how to behave! In particular, the media. Unfortunately, we now live in a world where the media tells us, what to think, what to do, what to say, how we look. Imagine if there was no media, how would you like to look. Thats the best style, its a unique style, suitable to you. Who was you before the world told you who you was?

You should change not because of bullying but only when you want to.Dress in a nice and stylish way just to feel confident and attractive.This will give you a power and it will be easier for you to go and and tell evil people what you really think about them.Don't cry and ask them to let you alone.Act as if you are their boss,mock at them and they will gradually respect you!

The way you act or dress may be what started bullying, but it won't make it stop. Never be afraid to be yourself, no matter what who that is. Go to a counselor or other authoritative figure for help, if you encounter bullying.

This will be tough, but when you reach the finishing line it'll all be worth it. Be proud of who you are. You can change the way you think, feel and react to bullies.
If you really think about it, bullies are everywhere. Even bullies have their own bullies. However, when you're honestly content with yourself, no bully can affect you and you wouldn't need to worry about avoiding them.
Like I said, not a easy trip, but definitely worth taking that journey. Talking from personal experience here.
All the best to you my dear!

No, the way you are is the way you are. Nobody should have to be someone they aren't just to fit in.

No, your peers should accept who you are and if they continue to bully you, find new friends. People shouldn't bully you for being yourself.

Absolutely not.no amount of suffering is worth the sacrifice of your identity and style.there are far more practical and less damaging solutions to bullying.(teachers,school transfers,parents ect)I understand it's hard to go through that but you'll only feel worse after losing your sense of self.(you'll feel drained out of place,diluted and fake)

If you, want to change the way you are, do it for yourself, don't do it because other people want you to, or pressure you to. To get the bullying to stop, you could tell someone that it is happening

If you lose your individuality, you lose yourself. You are unique! You are you for a reason. If there are some who can't accept you for who you are, don't worry about it! Move on to those who do.

Absolutely not. If you enjoy what you wear, then you should wear it. Report the bullying; do not change who you are.

No because you're perfect the way you are! Why should you change who you are just so you can be another one of them? Be yourself because that is more interesting than being the same as everyone else! Don't change yourself, be yourself. People should accept you for who you are and if you do get bullied, tell someone about it! There are always people willing to help.

Absolutely not! Be you! If you are being bullied it is because they have problems with in themselves, even if it doesnt seem like it! NEVER change for someone else no matter what they say (as long as you aren't physically or emotionally or verbally hurting others or yourself)Be you, because no one else can do it better :) stay strong :)
