Bullies are ultimately people with low self-esteem. To completely answer the question more information is probably needed. Are we talking about a school bully? Bullies at work? If the question is being asked for a child being bullied by another child then simply adults should get involved. If the question is being aimed towards young adults or older it depends on the situation. Hit'em right between the eyes? Sometimes this will work. Speaking personally; you better be willing to take a few in return when using this technique. If you are older than 18 though you might be going to jail. In today's society you can be right in defending yourself and still be wrong in court. The best way to deal with a bully is to be smarter than they are. Yes, I know this will not always work but it is a start. Direct communication, standing as tall as you can and stating exactly what you will not take anymore. It has worked in the past. But just in case...I would be ready with the right! Sometimes it's your only choice. If someone, anyone physically pushes you, punches you, etc. you have the right and I personally feel the duty to stand up and defend yourself. Evil lurks where good men do nothing. Be firm, be right, be honest, and if need be fast. Going one step further I feel it is everyone's responsibility to stop bullying when they see it. Sometimes there is positive strength in numbers. Take care of yourself and your friends... and good luck!

I'm assuming that you are in school.
The good advise is: "The worst thing you can do is show fear and learn how to fight."
The thing that worked for me, however I'm not recommending it for you because I don't know your situation. Try ignoring him first. if that doesn't work....then... and this is probably not the best advise, but it worked for me....... When I was in school I didn't have any bully issues. I wasn't exactly the biggest guy, either. It only takes a couple of times in front of a lot of people (but not the teacher). Go "POSTAL". Something completely crazy. Like picking up a desk and throwing it at him or maybe tipping over his desk with him in it. Hit him hard and by surprise. (Not hard enough to really hurt him bad). If he still comes at you don't run. Stand your ground. Let him know that you are not going to put up with his S*&% anymore. If he wants to fight after school, don't back down. Try talking first. Tell him that you aren't going to put up with being treated like this anymore. Make sure there are lots of people there just in case you get beat down real bad, someone will probably step in and stop it. Odds are.. People are going to pick up on the fact that you are not a guy to be picked on..You are a no nonsense guy. If you get beat, take it like a man.

I'm not psychologist but my experience is that there are different kinds of bullies. The most common is the type that want to intimidate and will back down if you stand up to them. But there are also some that merely want to provoke a fight with someone they are pretty sure they can stomp. Just standing up to those won't really work. You'll have to confront them at the time and place of your chosing. This might throw them off. Or not you might get stomped up. Sometimes if you iniate the hostilities it may create just a little doubt in their mind about the outcome of actual fighting.

There are many theories on this one, but a bully has a very unique strategy according to tim fields, that when they are approached for accountability, they deny all wrong, blame the victim, project their own sickness on to the victim, feign victim themselves and then get everyone to empathize with them, therefore they turn the victim into the villian and the really villian themselves in to the victim. They isolate people, and emotionally destroy without remorse.
From my experience, it is very difficult to deal directly with the bully, he is twistor of truths.
1) Fight back, and fight back hard, and in public (the bully hates to be exposed)
2) Report the bullies behavior to a superior.
Remember, the bully no matter how much they seem like they have won, they have lost. they will never have the kind heart, honesty, and truth of conscience or courage that many who fall victims of the bully have.

I'll tell you what worked for me: A left uppercut to the nose, breaking it, then a swift hard kick to the groin. Preferably in front of a large crowd. Cost me a three day suspension but no one ever bugged me after that.

Teach him a lesson he will never forget and make him sorry. Since he won't listen to words and the smell of weakness is too strong, you'll have to get the message through in the only language he knows.

When I was in high school, I fantasized about hiring two big, strong bodyguards. I would walk into my classes, and while they covered my back, I would punch every bastard who bullied me.
