Here are new bullying comeback lines you can use to handle a bullying situation.

• Deadpan Bullying Comeback: "Why do you waste your time saying that stuff to me?"
• Deadpan Bullying Comeback: "I'm not sure why you keep saying these things to me, but it really doesn't matter."
• Deadpan Bullying Comeback: "Okay. Finished?"
• Deadpan Bullying Comeback: "That's funny, but now I'm bored."
• Deadpan Bullying Comeback: "Those things are ridiculous, but whatever."
• Deadpan Bullying Comeback: "Here we go again, tell me when you are done."
• Deadpan Bullying Comeback: "I don't do this to you. You should really think about what kind of person you are acting like."

Remember that it's not just what you say but HOW you say it. Your body language, tone and delivery are key to making these work.

Be Water When They Are Fire.  It's really hard to continue to be mean to someone when they are strong enough to stay nice.  Eventually, most people will learn to respect you and become your friend.  Only in rare cases do people continue after you have shown that you will not get angry or allow yourself to react in an exaggerated manner.  Be kind, compassionate and loving and you will be surprised at how others will treat you.  At first, it usually gets worse, but then it gets better as they learn how to treat you.  Many times, you will have earned their respect and become friends.

Who is mighty? One who has self control and can make friends from enemies.

Cyber bullying, also known as electronic bullying or online social cruelty, is defined as bullying through a variety of mediums including:
