Understanding Bullying | Page 13

Remember....

Don't let your emotions--anger, bitterness, unforgiveness, self-hate--control your life. One of the best things you can do is decide not to get angry but instead extend forgiveness to the bully.

Bullies are most likely being bullied by someone else in their life and only know how to respond in hate. They may be dealing with abuse at home, parent's divorce or something equally difficult.

No situation makes it okay to bully. However, undertanding where the bully is coming from might help you show them love. People who are hurt are the ones who hurt people.
