World Of Mixed Martial Arts 5 Mods

Hypotheticalshould someone defend a friend from a bully bye putting his/her shelf right in front of the bully for the bully to have someone new to pick on or possibly get hit or something? Or avoid all this & be called a bulliy from your friend & his/her parents & other friends? And then be let the bully bully & ignore the bully & be called a bully beta male or hit the bully or let it eat you up in the inside & accept life because that's what strong willed people do? In a situation IDK in a situation like this? Most now-a-days bulling ends up physical.

Will I've been bullied in middle school that sorta changed my life & have mild social anxiety. And so I would be afraid to put my self in front of the bully who would just want drama & physical fights. If that happens And I'm a good friend I just don't want to be assaulted bye some scum or insulted. And you have to take that back I'm a real friend I just don't want trouble that will just open doors & more doors & can't close.

I was bullied myself. Initially didn't have confidence to do anything about it. One day, for entirely unrelated reasons, I signed up for martial arts. It gave me a very different way of thinking and behaving. I never once had to use it, but my lack of fear became apparent. It might be a cliche but simple confidence and a willingness to step up can sometimes be all that you need to do.

I might add that down the road some of those bullies actually became friends and mellowed out a bit. But the situation of my school days might (and probably would be) different from other schools. We had a common enemy, the staff. Our school held the local record for highest suicide rates due to the extreme pressure teachers and administration put on people. I watched the admin in charge of students' mental health shout a kid to tears because he failed one math quiz. Hard to blame some of the bullies who didn't have supportive families or friends to help them deal with the stress.

That said, if the bully was truly just a terrible person picking on a friend, I'd give them a few hospital bills. But you might have supportive staff, someone you can actually go to for help. We didn't. So it really depends on circumstances as to how you handle the situation. But always support a friend, even if it means taking a hit. Maybe sue his ass for assault or the school for negligence lol.

I simply don't wanna take a hit if I ever have to go through this. Remember all the bullies on the news? What if Taking a hit means sitting in jail & what are the concussions on this hypothetical situation but outta a work or school envirement & into the free-world?

Well considering the info you gave us regarding your friend, options seem limited. I don't know the full situation. But again, I never had to take or give a punch. Sometimes it's just a matter of calm confident approach. That does not necessarily have to be hostile or aggressive.

Also, taking a hit, (as in actually being punched is what I was trying to imply not "taking one for the team"), does not put you in jail. If anything, they the aggressor, would go to jail. There are plenty of non-violent approaches. But at a certain point you have to make a decision. You can do the right thing or the wrong thing. Indifference to the needs of others, a lack of action, can be just as bad as committing the act yourself. (In legal terms this is called being "accessory to a crime". You were aware and allowed it to happen.) Some would even say inaction is a special kind of evil. There's certainly no shortage of quotes from famous people on the topic.

In short, while you don't have to fight a bully, you should always do something to help a friend. If you don't want to fight, just stand in the way and take some blows. If you don't want to do that, contact someone with some authority. Maybe provide a distraction and both of you run like hell. Or perhaps some simple conversation can resolve the situation, as it often has in my experience. If this person is your friend, or even a stranger, to do nothing is wrong.

When you say "bullies on the news" if your referring to school shooters they're usually the frequent victims of bullies rather than the bullies themselves (and often with other factors mixed in. Troubled family life, etc.) Yet another reason to help someone, it may keep the victim from snapping and doing something much worse in retaliation.

Maybe its just my perspective and experiences, but if you can help someone you should. Ideally in a non-violent fashion, but the world isn't always kind enough to give that option. "Engage with peace, be ready for war".
