Is fighting back the only way to make bullying stop?

Published: June 9, 2021, 5 a.m.

We\u2019ve all heard people recount stories of how the quiet kids snapped one day in class after months of torment from the class bully and lashed out, put the other kids on their butt and there in that single defining moment was the last time someone picked on them.

It happens.\xa0 We all know it does.\xa0 Fighting back is what a lot of people resort to in order to make the bullying stop.\xa0

Many parents sign their kids up for self-defence or martial arts lessons in hope they\u2019ll build their confidence and make them more physically capable of defending themselves.\xa0 While this may work for some it doesn\u2019t work for everyone.\xa0 If your child doesn\u2019t want to physically fight back or you\u2019re not comfortable with it then this episode is to reassure you it\u2019s not the only option.\xa0 Actually, there\u2019s another way which is far more effective.
