Hmm intrestingly enough they don't even teach you how to deal with bullies in school...then parents and people will say 'tell the teacher', 'just ignore it.' well if you tell the teacher they may not believe you, it might case them to do more bullying due to being 'tattled' on...one can only ignore harassment for so long before it gets to them. So yeah not sure what is an effective way to deal with such people....maybe some focus should be put into that though education should also be aimed at teaching that bullying behavior is not appropriate and is detrimental to society as a whole....but good luck convincing the collective society that behavior is detrimental to society as a whole. A lot of people seem quite fine with the view that if you can't take the heat well that's your problem society does not have to change to better fit the needs of it's people.
