In designing effective anti-bullying programs, schools need to avoid the kind of negative message that students are likely to tune out. This means using more positively focused motivational messages that are aimed at encouraging students to stand up for themselves.
This is complicated. If you’re being bullied at school and especially if you’re being laughed at, one way that’s always worked for people is to actually laugh along with a real laugh. Then the bullies have nothing to make fun of you as they can see you laughing and not looking down. Other ways can include telling an adult, the principal, walking away, or telling your parents.
