Question

Why are people so rude nowadays?

Charlotte Kennedy

Community Answer

"Bitterness is the language of the insecure." They may be mean because there's something going on with them that you don't know about. Even if that's the case, that's no reason to be mean. In return, be nice to them. Once they see that their words or actions don't affect you, they'll hurt you less and less. Even if you don't feel like being nice, try it!

Question

What should you do when someone calls you names such as, “Shut up there, you stupid boy/girl!”? Should I respond with “It’s not appropriate,”?

Community Answer

You could say; "Are you looking in the mirror again?" That should catch them off gaurd.

Question

What to say if someone says "bitch"?

Community Answer

Say "I think you were talking about yourself, because you just described what you are, bye." Never say "Don't call me that", it would mean you accept it already.

Question

I hate it when people tell me to shut up. If they insult us then you should defend yourself. Or just say sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.

Community Answer

That is only true if you want it to be words can be worse than stick and stones what I say is sticks and stones might break my bones but words sometimes hurt me.

Question

There is a girl in my 7th-hour class, and she tells me to shut up all the time. How do I respond without getting beat up?

Community Answer

Simply ignore her. If you don't say anything to her, she won't have a reason to hurt you. In fact, if she is capable of beating somebody up, you should stay away from her.

You could tell them to get help or get a life. Alternatively, you can respond with a confident smile and nod sarcastically.

Question

What does "What are you, five years old?" even mean?

RadRaptor123

Top Answerer

It's like saying, "Hey, you're acting like a five-year-old," which is generally not a good thing if you're not actually five.

Question

Why do people always bully me about the way I look or the people I hang out with?

RadRaptor123

Top Answerer

People who bully often do so because they have nothing better to do and believe that making others feel bad will somehow make them feel better.

"Oh, really? How about you go check a mirror?" or "Did I ask for your opinion?" are unexpected and assertive responses you can use.
