How to End Bullying (1) Stand Up For Yourself
Bullying can be stopped in many ways and fashions. One of the more straightforward techniques is to ask the person why they're bullying you and tell them to stop. This has a probability of working and could be very effective.
How To End Bullying (2) Stand up for Your Peers
If you see someone else getting bullied online, make sure to stand up for the individual who's getting bullied. The more support that person gets, the higher the chance of stopping the bully from doing any more harm. This will also allow you to make a new friend who you just stood up for.
How To End Bullying (3) Stop It Before It Starts
Inspire friends and others to show kindness to others who seem to be socially awkward. You need to lead in example to help others understand that making friends and accepting others is more rewarding than bullying. Hopefully this act will stop some future bullying.
Make New Friends and Cherish their Support and Care. Bullying doesn't give you any of that.
