Facts that adults don’t tell you about bullying

- Communication doesn’t work on bullies. Telling a bully they’re making you feel bad is the wrong way to go. They want to make you feel bad. That’s the point.

- being kind to a bully doesn’t always mean they’ll stop. Sometimes it means they’ll just use your kindness to manipulate you while still continuing to bully you.

- not every bully has a sympathetically tragic home life. Sometimes people are just mean. Sometimes people just get off on hurting others.

- on that note, a tough home life is a reason, not an excuse. You don’t have to put up with bullying because somebody’s life sucks, just like you don’t have to let someone mug you because they’re broke.

- in order to forgive someone, they have to apologize first. If your bully has not apologized to you, you do not owe them anything.

- getting bullied as a kid can still mess you up in adult life. Maybe kids grow out of being bullies, but the marks they left often don’t go away.

- there are ways to get people to stop bullying you, but they almost all involve being mean back.

- as long as parents keep raising shitty bullying kids, there will be bullies. No amount of assemblies and hand-drawn posters will fix the problem. It’s the parents’ fault.

Hi could you do one where Yaz, Bill, and Ryan have more in Common than traveling with the Doctor

“So, like… you’re into grime, then?” Ryan asked, his eyes widening in awe at the prospect. “Cos that’s super uncommon in most girls, I mean… Yaz doesn’t even know what grime is.”

“I do so,” Yaz shot back, frowning good-naturedly at him. “Stop making out that I’m super uncool.”

“You are super uncool,” he reminded her fondly, reaching over and ruffling her hair. “Like, totally and completely uncool. But I bet Bill isn’t. Are you, Bill?”

“I dunno,” she gave a nervous little laugh and a half-shrug. “I’m a bit of a nerd, but yeah, grime is sick. I reckon we could get Yaz into it, what do you say? Couple of nights out…”

“Oh god,” Yaz groaned. “I’ll just prepare for a hangover now, shall I?”
