Question

What if someone says you're mean?

Jace

Community Answer

They were probably hurt by you, or they are joking. If someone calls you "mean," ask them why, and apologize if you hurt them.

Question

What do I do if someone bullies me really badly?

Chloerogerson

Community Answer

I've been there before. It's best to tell an adult, or someone you trust, and have them handle it. But, if that's not satisfactory enough, give them some ultimate burns later and see how they take THAT.

What if my friend keeps calling me stupid or dumb over and over again, what are some comebacks for that?

Try saying stuff like, "I'm stupid? I was tryna act like you today", and “Look, I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and crap out a smarter statement than that.”
