What are the benefits of reading these bullying quotes?

Taking power from a bully is not always easy, but there are wise ways to deal with them.

Remember: a bully is only as powerful as you allow him or her to be.

So instead of surrendering to their power play, stop playing their victim, and each of their attempts will become embarrassing for them.

When a bully bombards you, make them lose their power by being:

strong
firm
courteous

Because bullies will try to make you feel alone and powerless, always attempt to stay connected with faithful and supportive people.

Instead of challenging a bully and giving him or her the attention and sense of power they seek, give them an assertive but unemotional response that will make them know you do not intend to be victimized.

The perceived strength of a bully can also be his or her weakness.

If they don’t get the reaction they’re looking for from you; they’ll often lose interest and cannot take away your power.

To remind you of your strength is our collection of inspirational, wise, and helpful bullying quotes, bullying sayings, and bullying proverbs collected from various sources over the years.
