What to do when someone is trying to fight you

First of all, don’t pay any attention to them. If they try to provoke you, just ignore them and walk away. This will usually make them stop, because they are not getting the response they want. You know, I learned this advice during different times of my life. When you have a situation, look for and use all the right ways to solve it. When that doesn’t work, then turn to the other ways to solve it. So, first of all, try to talk with the person who wants to fight with you and make peace. If that doesn’t work, tell a teacher that you trust, or someone who you think can help you solve the problem. If the teacher doesn’t do anything about it, tell the principal. If the principal doesn’t do anything about it, then find out why she or he wants to fight with you  If the the person was looking for trouble in the first place it was the person and it was not you. One person alone cannot fight, it takes two people, so if you walk away there will not be a fight.

Remember – don’t pay attention. Just walk away like nothing happened. If you pay attention to them, and react with words or actions, it will make them feel happy, and they will continue to want to disturb you. If they say something mean or something that disturbs you, don’t reply with bad talk back and don’t show that you are angry. Just relax and they will stop. I know it’s not simple, but trust me it works. Remember – the best thing to do is to walk away from people like that. It’s better to walk away than to fight back. Just because a bully wants to fight you, doesn’t mean you have to fight back. When you ignore and walk away from the fight, the bully might stop and just let you go. But if it continues happening, you should quickly report it to your teacher or some adult. This will help end the the bullying, so there is no violence.

When someone says something bad to you, just leave them alone. Their mouth belongs to them. When they get tired, they will stop. – May Twe
