Teen on the street

How would you suggest handling a bully?

Alex McKee, 12 years old, sixth grade

“Just stay with a good crowd. If you get in trouble with them, try to avoid them as much as you can.”

Travis Bland, 13 years old, seventh grade

“Ignore them and that’s it. Don’t let it bug you.”

Austin Whipple, 13 years old, seventh grade

“Just walk away.”

Adam Wood, 15 years old, ninth grade

“I would go to the counselor and see if they can help me work it out. I would also tell the person he is bothering me and I don’t like it.”

Chris Armstrong, 14 years old, eighth grade

“I would just walk away. I’d say ‘Later skater.'”

Mia Brantley, 15 years old, ninth grade

“I wouldn’t get anyone else involved. The bully is probably all talk, so I wouldn’t do anything.”

Lydia Shontz, 13 years old, seventh grade

“I just ignore it because I know they’ll forget about it sooner or later. It won’t go on forever.”

Andrew McKee, 15 years old, ninth grade

“Avoid them as much as possible and don’t do anything that might make them mad.”
