[Introduction]
|
|
It is a well know fact that many teenagers and kids get both
|
|
physically and verbally attacked by mobs, something which
|
|
very often leads to great depressions and social problems
|
|
later on in life. This file is written to help you, and others
|
|
to stop the mob from pestering you or others.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[The Mob Itself]
|
|
The people who continuosly and systematically pick on other
|
|
people often do it because they are afraid of being picked
|
|
on themselves. It is also done to make them look "cool" and
|
|
"though", and it is in many cases a pathetic attempt to gain
|
|
some respect amongst the other students/pupils on the school.
|
|
They are often the people with bad grades, which turn into big
|
|
bullies, and they in most cases pick on smaller and weaker people
|
|
which often are more intelligent.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[Protecting Yourself From Verbal Attacks]
|
|
One of the primary weapons of the mob is the verbal assaults.
|
|
They throw comments and nasty words at you, hoping that you
|
|
will break down sooner or later, something which they very
|
|
often accomplish to do.
|
|
The trick is to learn how to defend yourself against these
|
|
verbal attacks. There are many ways to do this.
|
|
Some of them are the following:
|
|
|
|
:The Mirror Practise:
|
|
Stand in front of a mirror and verbally attack yourself,
|
|
pretending that the person in the mirror is the attacker.
|
|
If you feel that the verbal attacks are getting to you,
|
|
take a break(not more than 5 minutes) before you continue.
|
|
Start with less powerful words and attacks, then move on
|
|
to the stronger and more hurting ones. It is important
|
|
that you do not move on too fast.
|
|
|
|
:The Friend Practise:
|
|
For this practise you will need 1 or more friend(s).
|
|
Have them verbally attack you, begin with less powerful
|
|
words and attacks, and then move on to the more powerful
|
|
ones. Also try to increase the amount of friends picking
|
|
on you as you increase the "difficulty".
|
|
If their comments starts to get to you, then stop and
|
|
wait about 5 minutes(or until you feel ready) before you
|
|
continue.
|
|
You should also have them physically attack you after a
|
|
while, so that you will not be brought to your knees by the
|
|
physical attacks combined with the verbal ones.
|
|
|
|
:The Real Life Practise:
|
|
This method should not be used before you have practise with
|
|
one or both of the methods described above for a some time.
|
|
What you do is that you walk out to the mob, and let them
|
|
pick on you, show them that you are stronger than them, and
|
|
that their verbal attacks will only glance off you.
|
|
Of course, this method will be pushing you more than any of
|
|
the others because you are unable to stop it when you wish to.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[Protecting Yourself From Physical Attacks]
|
|
There really is not fool-proof way to protect yourself from the
|
|
physical attacks. But there are ways you may do it.
|
|
And of course, it is easier to protect yourself physically if you
|
|
are a male(because of the stronger body build).
|
|
|
|
:Building Muscles:
|
|
Building muscles is a very good way to protect yourself, and even
|
|
hinder new people from starting picking on you.
|
|
If you look strong and able to fight off a few attackers on your own,
|
|
it will make the possibility for someone trying to start to pick
|
|
on you both physically and verbally much smaller.
|
|
But still, you should not look like a bulldozer. The trick is to
|
|
stay both slim, quick and strong at the same time.
|
|
|
|
:Martial Arts:
|
|
Martial arts combined with a healthy and strong body will be one
|
|
of your best defenses against physical attacks.
|
|
If you are well trained within a martial art, you will have a good
|
|
possibility of forcing the mob either away or to the ground.
|
|
You may look at it this way: would you attack a person who has
|
|
Arnold Schwarznegger's muscles and Jackie Chan's fighting skills?
|
|
Karate is not the martial art you should learn at first, since it
|
|
is very much prestige and showing off. What you should try to learn
|
|
is Nin Jitsu, Tae Kwon Do, and the likes.
|
|
Nin Jitsu is actually a branch of the type of martial arts the
|
|
ninjas practise, and it is highly effective.
|
|
But Tae Kwon Do, is just as good.
|
|
A book you could look for on info on the Nin Jitsu is
|
|
"The Grandmaster's Book Of Ninja Training".
|
|
|
|
:Running Away:
|
|
Running away really isn't a good solution if you want to get rid of
|
|
the mob. IF you run away, it will signal to the mob that they have
|
|
"won" and that you are a victim that will easily be broken down.
|
|
However, if you find yourself in a situation you can not handle, then
|
|
you should run.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[Closing]
|
|
I really do hope this will help the people out there being
|
|
continuosly and systematically picked on.
|
|
People who pick on others is something the world do not
|
|
need.
|
|
And remember, do not let them take control of your feelings.
