Great Comeback Lines to Use on a Bully!
101 Great Comeback Lines to Use on a Bully
Comebacks are not for everyone! Comebacks can be helpful when dealing with mean kids, however, kids should practice comebacks with an adult. Comebacks don’t stop bullying, BUT they can increase confidence, which can discourage bullies. A comeback is not a return insult! Never us a comeback if a kid may become challenged or violent! The following are just examples to help you think of ones that may be suitable to your situation and to your age. Many high schoolers have commented on some of the following stating how such comebacks would not work and would only make a bully want to do it more. This may be true in some instances, that is why regardless of your age you should talk to an adult to get some feedback about using comeback lines.
How to Use Comeback Lines
The key to comeback lines is to remain COOL and AVOID the temptation to trade name calling or personal insults with the bully or teaser. A great comeback line is brief and to the point and leaves the bully or teaser feeling that they did not get to you! Don’t forget to always look them in the eye and keep cool – anger is a sign to them that what they are doing is working. Try some of the following, however always remember: if another student is threatening physical violence toward you, don’t say anything to him or her – do your best to get away from the situation and to where a teacher or other adult is located.
