Bullying is a blustering, quarrelsome, overbeating person who habitually badgers and intimidates a smaller or weaker people.

We can minimize bullying in our own little way. Antagonizer or rascal others may call them but still they are human. Here are some ways to help bully. First, counsel and talk to him and find out the reasons why he do bullying. Some bully do such action because of his family problems. He experiences maltreatment in their house maybe from his own parents or older brothers, his family that supposed to love him is the one who force him to do bullying. His only outlet is to revenge, not to his family but to his fellows in school or in the community. Second, don’t ignore him . Give him some assignment to do to make him busy. Next, engage him in group activities as much as possible assign him to be the leader in the group. And lastly, encourage him to talk to you every time he feels alone. Be friend to him, if he feels that he is not alone and has friend who is superior in the classroom, someone who is ready to listen then gradually this bully will change. You made him changed.
