I have taken a stand for my friends because of bullying I have always found bullying wrong because it gets annoying after a while so to those who are being bullied just snap already and punch him because after that the person won't bother you for a while and if you have to do it again don't worry because the person deserved it, if you get in trouble don't worry about it because usually the punishment is better than being bullied for dumb reasons, so just don't let the person mess with your head or anything cause if you let the person do that he wins because the person got what he wanted to happen so don't let the person get the joy out of bothering you, so just dont them get on your nerves you could also tell a teacher but if they don't do anything take matters into your own hands do not think it's your fault also don’th not think skipping school will work because eventually you have to deal with them you should not keep it to yourself tell your friends or someone you trust I would not recommend telling a teacher or any adult because that most of the the time the person will most likely do it even more than before also don't hurt yourself it is not worth it. You should find out his weakness and exploit it and use it against that person to get your revenge and after words he will most likely not mess with you again if he does you know what to do also just don't care it work…
