Heya playa, be honest with me for a second here, are you being bullied?
It's ok if you are and I know you've heard the advice "just ignore them" so many times
that it goes in one ear and out the other, but today I want to teach you something different.
Today you're gonna learn how to fight back.
This is The Josh Speaks.
You're watching The Josh Speaks.
Bullying comes in many different kinds of forms.
It can be peopling calling you names, others giving you wet willies or even people shoving
you around in front of others just because they feel like it.
And what I want you to know is that there are a number of ways to dismantle a bully
once you understand why they're picking on you.
Most bullies lack self esteem and feel the need to pick on others so that at least someone
can pay attention to them.
They're often focused on the drama surrounding the bullying process.
Their ultimate goal is to get you to react excessively so they can point fingers at you
so that no one is looking at them.
That's why the way to beat most bullies is to not play into their head games.
The majority of the time, they're aiming to damage you psychologically but if you focus
on building the necessary self confidence and self worth that you need, their comments
won't even affect you.
If you wanna learn more tips on building self confidence, check out my video right here
because your ultimate goal is to learn how to stare them down, not be phased by what
they say, look them in the eyes and say "Man, you're really pathetic".
But if you find yourself getting hurt or shaken up by the things that they say, then they're
only going to strike back harder until that hole in your tolerance shield grows and grows.
And even if you have to pretend, fake it till you make it, don't let them see that their
verbal comments and attacks are affecting you in any way.
They don't care what your insult back to them is, all they care about is gaining satisfaction
from breaking you down, so don't give that to them.
But the time has come, you're standing there, one on one with the bully in front of a crowd
of people waiting to see if you're gonna put up or shut up, what do you do?
Your goal should be to incapacitate them for the rest of the fight so that you can walk
away with the least amount of damage done to you as possible.
Bullies love to make a show which is why they'll do little things to try to instigate you like
shoving you, talking right in front of your face or even throwing things at you.
They'll do anything they can to get you to respond and if this is the case, remember
to revert back to the psychological mental game.
If you see them trying to put on a show for attention, laugh at first and see if you can
shrug it off and walk away.
But, if you see this isn't working and they're continuing to press on you, always make sure
to get that first strike.
This might be with a punch or a grab but try your best to lay in a hold move which is either
an arm lock or a headlock just so that you can pin them down and hold them there so that
they don't do any damage to you.
If you can keep them at bay and hold them down, try to get the crowd around you to contact
an adult.
They'll either be bored that there's no fight or they'll just see that you won, you got
him, this thing is over.
Another thing to remember is that bullies generally are weak.
So if their friends see the main guy getting beat up, they may feel the need to jump in
so always make sure your back is closest to the wall so that none of them can attack you
from behind.

This is actually my second video about bullying, if you want to check out my first, click on

Defense is the key word here.
Always aim to defend yourself, and never be the aggressor unless it's absolutely necessary.
Because the key to winning a fight is to avoid it all together.
As always guys, love and peace.
