As a guide on how to deal with bullies, this particular flyer is … not very good at all.
I mean, there are some glimmers of good here — yeah, there are times when having a thick skin (or the wit to laugh off a slight) isn't a bad idea, and letting someone else into your head and control how you feel is a problematic strategy, and learning not to be a sore loser is great advice (though it seemingly has nothing to do with bullying).
But for the most part, you can sum this up as "We're all buddies here at school so don't get angry at bullies and certainly don't raise a fuss about being bullied to your teacher except in the extreme of someone physically hitting you or taking your stuff." Shorter summary: "We don't want to be bothered unless parents are going to call us up complaining about bruises or stolen lunch money."
Which is not good advice at all.
