The following is from the website, http://www.bullyfreeliving.com/
What bullies don't want you to know...
"If a victim
fights back the bully will say, "See, they're the real bullies.
We are the
real victim."
"Bullies often will lie about what they have
done and are doing. A bully will deny it or claim they are the 'real' victim. Be
ready for this to happen. Don't let their lies affect you."
"Bullies will often find a sidekick - a person or group- they will 'use'
for their own gain. In their path there are often many individuals they have
manipulated and 'used."
"Bullies are
very convincing story tellers often gaining sympathy and 'assistants' who help
them bully. Rest assured, bullies will 'use' these people then turn on them.
Often their sidekick is terrified of being the next
victim."
"In cases we have
seen bullies tell bold-faced lies to the police when questioned. Even after they
are caught in the lie, they never told the truth."
"Bullies
are likely to be narcissists never taking responsibility for their actions.
Never."
The bullying began nearly 1 year ago this month. The same thoughts continue to race around in my head and as much as I analyze the entire situation...I needed to tell my story. I hope through my story I can connect to others who have experienced this epidemic and bring a voice to the "Targets".
