That’ll work cool Veena, esp the sense of humor is an amazing defense. Thanks for the continued support Veena, always a pleasure to hear from you :)

Thank you :). That’s a nice assertion Ana, most people respond to strength and the moment they realize that you are strong, they dont come in the way and they go on picking up on someone else they could take advantage of. I guess that is why it is called pick on someone your own size!

Thank you Venkat :). I agree, sometimes in that case nothing works better than ignorance. Too much of energy would be expended on such bullies and they really dont deserve it!

Perfect Bushra, nothing better than ignorance sometimes. A bully when he realizes that there is no reaction is bound to stop sometime and sometime soon :)

I have applied pretty much every way mentioned, but the sheer no. of people that I have to handle on a day-to-day basis on every step of my life just sucks the energy out of me.

Because, we are too huge in numbers:

He he he :D .. We both are on the same page bro ;)

He he he :D .. May I humbly suggest the first one Alok ;)

Thank you Ratna. I am yet to try the solution no.1 on someone. Somehow I haven’t got the courage to do that yet :D .

Banter aside, I guess the third one is one of the best solutions possible. We have to be assertive. Or else people will keep on taking advantage in the name of innocencce..
