So, we were talking about bullying and harassment, etc. at Guide camp this weekend, and ways to stand up and such.
So, for those of you experiencing such a thing, here are some options (most applicable in a verbal situation):
- ignore them/ the comments (This is ridiculously difficult to do - you have to have the highest self-confidence in the world. I know I wouldn't be able to do this.)
- call them out on it (Again, this still takes ridiculous amounts of confidence - because they're probably still gonna degrade you.)
- tell someone (Always. Doesn't matter who.)
But my personal favourite option:
- casually join in their coversation
