As a guide on how to deal with bullies, this particular flyer is … not very good at all.<\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n

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."<\/p>\n

Which is not good advice at all.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
