(17,266 posts)Is in any way similar to direct intervention of actual bullying says several things:
Either a) You bought the bullshit from the BA that they were 'stopping an aggressor'. or b) You think that the powerful picking on the weak is 'counter-bullying'.
That you can't make the distinction between retaliation for bullying and committing unilateral aggression.
That you still have no clue about the dynamic of bullying.
That 'just ignore them' line doesn't work with the kids who are actually bullied. Which tells everyone very clearly that you don't know the difference between people who are annoying to you and real bullies.
Anyone who has dealt with a real bully knows that ignoring them only makes them work harder to achieve a result. Also, they see it as a clear sign of submission.
You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, and anyone who has dealt with actual bullying knows it.
