I'm joking," She said to the group. Ah, the joking defense. The tried and true excuse for bullies everywhere.

Pain and humiliation is always amusing when it happens to someone else.

If bullies actually believe that somebody loves them and believes in them, they will love themselves, they will become better people, and many will even become saviors to the bullied.

Don't hate the bullies. Experience tells me that hating them, or being angry with them, will always make it worse. Instead, put your arm around them. Love them. Tell them that they are valuable. Tell them that you expect great things from them. They will stop the bullying. They will stop, because they will start to love themselves. And people who love themselves don’t bully others.

Life is a fight, but not everyone’s a fighter. Otherwise, bullies would be an endangered species.

My way of joking is telling the truth; that is the funniest joke in the world
