The problem is, bullying is a trait of human nature
Capture of the pirate Blackbeard
The problem is, bullying is a trait of human nature which was learned by people, probably way back, to snatch booty and to control and dominate others.
The only ways to stop bullying are:
1. To ignore it if this makes it go away. If that fails then:
2. To hit back by whatever means needed. Hit it where it hurts.
If you watch any film or programme with bullying content, the means needed to stop bullying is always to stand up to the bully. Not reacting can work in some situations but the context here is important. You need to be able to afford to ignore the bully.
Afford to ignore
It is impossible or at least very difficult to ignore someone who is pummeling your face into the ground or breaking your limbs. It is just as difficult to ignore someone tugging your lunch out of your hands when you are hungry.
In the instance of role power bullying by anyone in a position of authority over you, it is just as difficult to ignore them as, in the case of bullying, the attack against you will escalate before it stops. The escalation might cost you too much to survive it. A bully who has any power over you can leave you with:
- A loss of physical health
- A loss of income
- A loss of assets
- A loss of support when they scare off your allies
- No sign of any way out or defence
- Even a loss of life
In short: a bully will want and try to take from you as much as they can and whatever they think they can get away with. They will know no bounds and their methods will known no limits.

Theresa May and the Super Snoopers Charter
In November 2015, Theresa May was Home Secretary introduced the Investigatory Powers (Technical Capabilities) Act, which got Royal Assent in December 2016, with May as Prime Minister. There was strong opposition to the biggest surveillance act in any democracy, with concerns raised by Labour conveniently drowned out by the EU Referendum. Here are some changes […]
How to Get Maximum Vitamins and Nutrients for Your Ideal Diet
Last night I searched Twitter for eggs, meat, fish and salad and many results came back. Many people were saying these four food types were the basis of a healthy, nutritious diet. Of course not everyone wants to eat, let alone restrict their diet to these items and today no one has to so long […]
Is there a link between ME, Long COVID and male dominance in medicine?
The Lancet reported that data from COVID-19 vaccine trials was not reported separately for each demographic. To me, this suggests ignorance on the part of the medical professional about women’s health, differences between female and male bodies, minds and systems and denial about conditions, which affect women more than men. There is a complete refusal […]
Optimised Nutrition, Funding, Research and COVID-19
In February 2020, I was feeling a little drowsy. As a person who takes an extremely keen interest in keeping healthy – I’ll illustrate why in a bit – I could not believe that the message that we do not get enough sunlight to make vitamin D, which we need to make calcium, over the […]
