As children, we all had to deal with bullies. And now that we’re all grown up, we still have to deal with bullies. Yes, life can be cyclical, and in this instance it can certainly be unfair.
Bullying can be physical or verbal. Either way, you don’t have to stand for it.
Here are tips for dealing with a bully:
1. Document the bully’s actions. Write down the things she said. Take note of her actions. There is power in information.
2. Stand up to the bully. Confront her, but don’t stoop to her level. Tell her that you won’t put up with her behavior. Try and get her to take a frank look at her bullying ways.
3. Go to a supervisor. Bring your documentation. If it’s a supervisor who is the bully, go to a higher authority.
