  3. Name calling is childish,rude, shows how thick the perpetrator is, juvenile, and just so pathetic it's not worth worrying about. Just say hey can we have an adult conversation please or don't speak to me thank you. People who do this have a problem but it's not with you, it's with them. They may be jealous of you, envy you, if you're a bubbly fun zesty person. Want to be like you, even have your life style. The easiest way to hurt someone is name calling, it's low not adult behaviour at all. Bullys deflect there anger onto happy carefree people. They try to bring you down, well don't let them. They're feeling low and ignored angry with there life. Rise above shine bright, carry yourself with dignity and out shine them. Be the fabulous confident funny well liked person you are. They hate it if doesn't affect you 😂😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆 best punishment. Xx

  6. Ever get called names when you get into conversations about Christianity? Here’s one way you can respond:

    When I’m called a name, I simply ask them to define it: “What do you mean by [fill in the name]?” and then I listen carefully to their definition. This easy question is meant to move past the irrelevant name-calling and get to the argument. It also neutralizes their attack by demonstrating at least one of three things:

    1. The definition doesn’t apply to me.
    2. The definition also applies to the other person.
    3 It doesn’t matter that the definition applies to me.

  9. I’ve been getting bullied like crazy at school. I overheard someone calling me a “stupid ass” today, but I pretended I didn’t hear it. I didn’t even do anything for him to say that about me. I was just doing my math work.

  17. So basically everytime I go outside kids call me names even in my front yard of my house other kids have the guts to call me names. I just can't go anywhere without getting made fun of and the worst part is I go to school I also have no escape there. I just wanna stop getting bullied

  22. Thanks for the video. I am being called a name because I made mistakes and I'm not doing the right thing. So I said I will correct myself in those views but to me name calling because of what I stated why shouldn't be a thing. I said I'll ignore it because I know what I have to do the right way in order to correct myself.

  25. I have this friend that calls me stupid loser and fat as a "joke" and She really does not realize how this is effecting emotionally like it's not once or twice or I have done anything to be called that and I don't want to stop being friends with her but I want to tell her to but I don't know how because I don't want it to get bigger or anything .
    I'm actually writing this while crying because I just hang up the phone while talking to her and of course she called me names of that is why I'm here in this video

  27. The thing is the severe verbal bully i run into tend to call names because they don't want to know you are. Asking these questions only leads to more put-downs and illogical shaming. Not to mention the possibility of suspending silence with no eye contact after you ask for specification. And these "morons" refuse to get out of their little world to take back what they say. So I find Gunn's comment more useful.
