Guy "Confesses" Love To Bully Through Song During Talent Show, Bully Threatens To Kill Him

Getting rid of a bully is pretty much an impossible task. Once someone has their whole mindset on you, they will continue to torment you until you either break or manage to resist in some way. It is a terrible experience that some people, unfortunately, have to deal with daily. According to Dr. Kristin Neff, a leading researcher in self-compassion, "When we treat ourselves with kindness, we are better equipped to face difficult situations, including bullying." People have tried several methods to get rid of bullies; some of them work to an extent, but others are much more effective. It all depends on whether you are willing to take the brain-over-brawl path or the opposite. Whenever these methods work, people love to share their stories to inspire more individuals to stand up to their bullies. A notable example is shared by Dr. Pepper Schwartz, who emphasizes that "Creativity in confronting bullies can be a powerful tool, as it often disarms them." Standing up to your bully is not an easy task, so anything even somewhat effective will do the trick.

Here's how Reddit users reacted to u/NunsWithNunchucks's situation:

The parents could've done something about it, but they decided to simply watch.

Reddit

He needs to keep it going to confuse him further.

Reddit

Always use your skills and talent to overcome obstacles in life.

Reddit

You only get a certain amount of it; don't use it all up.

Reddit

The parents are worrying about all the wrong things.

Reddit

OP relates a lot to what the previous user said.

Reddit

Power play for the win.

Reddit

Some people need to reevaluate their parenting methods.

Reddit

If they can't recognize that, it's on them.

Reddit

It's usually a near-death a$$ whooping, but it could still be serious.

Reddit

The bully didn't find it funny, though.

Reddit

Threats like this should not be taken lightly.

Reddit

I mean, what can you do in a situation like that?

Reddit

Some people even suspect that this whole story is fake.

Reddit

All it does is add more harm to the mix.

Reddit

He lost the competition but won the crowd.

Reddit

OP's mom is not as supportive as this random internet stranger.

Reddit

The bully managed to get OP's number this way.

Reddit

OP's parents could've prevented him from getting bullied, but they decided to just sit there and watch. They have no right to question his mental health because he defended himself the best way he could, given the tools at his disposal. There are only a limited number of things you can do in that position.

The only thing they should be doing now is making sure their son is not getting hurt and harassed by his school bully, because now things are going to be much worse after the "romantic confession."
