Just don't give "them" permission...
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." (Anna Eleanor Roosevelt) An alternative perspective perhaps... Something to have a think on... Words only have meaning...if you let them... For better or for worse...words only have power if you give them power... Bullies are weak... Bullies are cowards... Bullies are stupid... Bullies are human... Bullies are often deeply troubled and hurting inside... Nothing justifies a bully's actions or words. Bullies seek meaning
