Reply to comment by [deleted] in LPT: Always stand up to bullies. Bullies are like thieves: They are secretly lazy and get deterred by people willing to put up a fight. by [deleted]

Take your shirt off and scream "NO! Im not a goddamn furry and I don't want to join your Sonic fan club!" What are they gonna do? If they hit you it'll look like they were pissed you didn't join. If they try to tell people about this it'll seem like they were asking you to join.

Be legitimately unhinged and they'll leave you alone. I've avoided bar fights by saying "If you hit me I'll cry and tell mom." They look so confused and then walk away.

I know a dude who avoided a mugging by singing a song to the would-be mugger. Got confused, looked for hidden cameras, and the dude ran away when the mugger’s head was turned.

While this works to a degree, this sacrifices your own reputation more than it impacts the bully(ies). You're basically choosing a solo school life until the end of high school. Speaking from experience

People don't really call these kinds of people "bullies" outside of school, they're just called assholes.

Yes... You know, some schools in the US require you to be searched and go through detectors and such on the way in.
