target's feelings. The target is upset while the bully is calm and cool. The bully often
blames the target.

Ha-Ha-So
Targets can try HA HA SO for dealing with bullies.* Not every one works in every situation.
H Help. Seek help from peers and/or an adult.
A Assert yourself. Look the bully in the eye and tell them to stop. Keep it short.
"I don't like it when you do that, please stop."
H Humor. Respond with a remark to make the bully laugh.
A Avoid. Walk away, stay with others, not alone.
S Self-talk. Put on a tape in your own mind that says nice things to yourself so the bully doesn't get to you.
O Own it. Own the put-down (agree with it) to throw the bully off.
What not to do. Do NOT react emotionally. Don't show strong emotions in front of the bully which will excite the bully more.
4. Using an example of one of the times you were bullied, show how a target could use HA HA or SO:

school?
