First, some audiences may say that going against the bully will make the situation more complicated and that the victim should talk to an adult instead. What many don't realize is that by the time the student can tell the teacher, the bully has already attacked the victim. In some cases, the bullying can become physical and the victim does not have the opportunity to tell anyone. In this scenario, the victim's best defense against the bully is to stand up to him. Bullying is often defined as the use of superior force to torment another being. If the victim showed that they also have strength, it could potentially help them. When the victim fights back, the bully knows they won't just go after the bully without a fight. In conclusion, by standing up to the bully, the victim will show the bully that they have the strength to fight back.
