Bullies will fall and will not be able to cause harm to others when the people around them no longer give them their power or control! Stand up!

It amazes me how adults can act or actually be a bully. Shouldn’t bullying be a childhood act since children do not know any better or as much as an adult? Children are still learning; I guess the adults never learned! Bullying was what they did and have continued without any consequences!

It’s hard for bullies to be truthful. They need to lie to continue pretending to be intelligent, powerful, strong, and the best!

Surround yourself with loving and caring people. Bullies only produce fear, control, and unhappiness! Staying positive and being happy is what is needed in today’s world! People who give this to you are those you need to spend more time with and focus on every day. ☺️

Unfortunately, bullies are not only in school buildings! There are plenty of bullies that graduate and then show up in our adult world. Please beware!

Bullies will try everything and anything within their power to win! They will not have it any other way. Beware of those people in your life.

If you are protecting a Bully, STOP!  If you are helping a Bully, STOP! Bullies are not loyal, are not trustworthy, and will definitely hurt you along with all the others. You are not special, you are not irreplaceable, and you are basically waiting for your time to be ostracized!

It amazes me how many people will be on the side of a Bully and will help them to continue bullying! Why? Has the Bully promised you money, power, strength, gifts, favors? Do not give up your own integrity and dignity! You will be harmed when the bully is done with you and they will be!

Surrounding a Bully with your strength and the strength of others in your life who will support you and be on your side will take that Bully down or at least weaken and/or limit their impact on you. Get the support you need and stand strong! Bullies do not win if you show them strength!

Bullies want and need a reaction from you. Don’t give it to them!

Bullies take advantage of people who are not thinkers, questioners, fighters, and who are independent! They know you will not stand up for yourself and you will give them what they want. Be a self-advocate! Stand up for yourself, speak out, communicate, negotiate, and be assertive.

Bullies gain your trust, but can you actually trust them?

You are not alone if you are dealing with a Bully! Reach out to someone in your life who can help you and support you. Bullies go away when you are surrounded by those who are helping to protect you. They also go away if you can protect yourself! Be strong! They are weak!

You will never win with a bully, just walk away!

Bullies always blame everything they don’t like or agree with on everyone other than themselves! They will never, ever blame themselves even though it is usually their fault or due to their own actions. Remember bullies need you to believe in their lies in order for them to feel powerful.

Standing up to anyone in your life that does not treat you with respect, compassion, kindness, or love should always be the case. No matter how hard you think it may be, I guarantee that it will be easier the next time. And if you do continue, you will realize, you should have done this all along.

When you realize the Bully is not as strong and powerful as you thought, everything becomes clear to you; now you will feel strong and powerful and will not let the Bully take control of you any longer!

What is so upsetting about a bully, besides the harm they cause others, is the fact that they will never, ever be honest! Bullies need to rewrite reality so they can deny accountability! They need to distort the facts to protect their self-image. Stay away or stand up to these people!

Happy Holidays! Enjoy this time with family and friends!

Identify the bully. Notice the bully. Pay attention to the bully. Observe the bully. Then, stay away! Stand up! Advocate for yourself! Speak out! Protect others! Don’t let them get away with bullying you or those around you!

It is hard for bullies to be truthful. Bullies need to lie to continue pretending to be intelligent, powerful, strong and the best! Without lying, they are nothing!

The goal of a bully is to humiliate you and intimidate you! Don’t feel humiliated. Don’t feel or think less of yourself. Don’t be intimidated. Don’t be fearful. Don’t take the bait. You are not what they say, you are better than that! You are strong and will stand up for yourself!

We CANNOT cave to a Bully! They do not keep their promises! They do not keep their word! They do not give an inch, but they will take a mile! Stay strong! DO NOT give in to THE BULLY!

Teach your children, while they are young, to stand up for themselves by teaching them what they will hear from bullies and how they should respond. If we prepare them early in life, they will stand strong and become courageous! We need to do that for our children!

Bullies CON you! They tell you what you want to hear, then do the complete opposite.

It amazes me how many Americans have participated in the No Kings Protests today! I must say that it was very encouraging and exciting to know that American Citizens will not tolerate the BULLIES in this administration! We LOVE America! We need to keep our Democracy! PLEASE VOTE!

Were you taught by your parents, teachers and/or friends to stand up to bullies? Did you shy away from bullies because you were afraid? Did you not say anything to anyone and just hoped the bullying would stop? As parents, we need to talk to our children about bullies and bullying.

They may act tough, but they are not! Don’t be fearful!

Listening to the bullies? Most bullies have or need people around them to help them do what they want. Are you that person? Why would anyone listen to bullies who are harming others or treating people unfairly, knowing it is wrong? We should only be listening to those who are helping others.

Bullies insult you; degrade you; intimidate you; make you fearful; believe they can lie to you and manipulate you; are counting on you to be on their side! Do not fall for it! Do not believe them! Do not follow them. If you do, they WILL definitely tear you down!

A liar always thinks you’re lying. A cheater always thinks you’re cheating. An untrustworthy person always thinks you should not be trusted. A bully thinks you are the one bullying! Don’t fall for it!

We can’t be nice to anyone who is a bully! We can’t be respectful to someone who is disrespectful! We can’t overlook anyone or make excuses for anyone who harms others! We just can’t!

Are we teaching our children to advocate for themselves without being rude or disrespectful? Speaking up when something is not right or when we are being taken advantage of or even when we are harmed in any way from others? Teach your children to use their power to speak out and stand up!

Followers follow; they don’t say anything and hope for the best! Leaders lead; they speak out, fight for what is right, and work hard to achieve the best. We can all hope, but we must make sure that what we hope for, we are fighting for, and must work hard to make sure it will become a reality!

Were you raised to stay quiet and not say anything rude or disrespectful? That is all well and good when the other people around you do the same thing, but what happens when someone is rude, disrespectful, mean, condescending or a bully? Don't you NEED to say something and not stay quiet?

Don’t overlook what they do; don’t give them the benefit of the doubt; don’t make excuses for them; don’t let them take your power! A bully knows exactly what they are doing or saying. Stand up to them, advocate for yourself, and don’t let them get away with it.

Consequences are so important when growing up. Children need to learn consequences to their behaviors so they become responsible adults. What kind of a society would we live in if there were no consequences for negative behavior. Behavior that harms others?

The worst part of a bully is the part that manipulates you and then convinces you to think or feel they have changed or will change until you are right back to being manipulated again. See it for what it is and do not give in! You never win with a bully. Never!

You need to use your words forcefully, strong, and direct to bullies. Do not speak softly. They need to know you mean what you say, you will do what you say, and you will not back down.

Bullies need accountability, especially if they are young. If they grow up and learn that bullying gives them what they want, need, or desire, they will continue and possibly become worse or more cruel. Hold bullies accountable once you realize that’s who they are or that’s who they will become.

Bullies have malicious intent. They do not care about you as much as they say they do and how well they convince you. Please do not be a victim or play the victim for anybody! Bullies survive only because of all the people who cling to them, follow them and want to believe in them. Don't do it!

A bully is hypocritical.

Children, growing up, need to learn about bullies. What the bullies can do, how they would act, and what they would say. If your child knows about a bully, they will have more courage to stand up for themselves or ask for help. They will not be afraid, they will be brave and speak out.

We need REAL LEADERS today, not bullies. A Real Leader gives us facts and not made up stories. They are NOT condescending to others, selfish, or cruel. Real leaders do the right thing! They lead by example and are role models who show empathy and respect. Those are the leaders we need!

Please stand up and speak out to all the Trumplicans! This is not the America the majority of us want, is it? We need to use our voices, today and every day forward until we are back to having equal rights and freedoms; exactly what all the others before us have fought for and envisioned.

A bully does not want you to make your own choices! A bully wants to make choices for you. A bully wants you to follow them whether you agree or not, whether it makes sense to you or not, or whether it’s in your best interest or not. As long as you follow, you will be fine. Is that fine?

A BULLY is not a leader. They may take a leadership role, but will not be successful in that role. They can’t lead if they bully. It does not work! Don’t be their follower. You need to be the leader. Show the bully how they are supposed to lead and what it takes to be a true leader.

Good people need to speak out and need to speak out loudly! You stop fighting, the bullies will win!

I used to think bullies were only in schools growing up. Once I left High School, I would not have to put up with them any longer! Unfortunately, they are around in our adult lives. It baffles me that adults are bullies; don’t they know better! Didn’t they learn NOT to be a BULLY?

Bullies lie. Bullies do not care about you. Bullies only care about themselves and their power. Do not give in; do not back down; do not make excuses for them; do not accept their behavior. Bullies only win or succeed if you let them, so don’t allow them to continue bullying you! Stand up!
