Turning Bullying Into A Positive - Story of Helen Carroll

This is a great story I recommend for everyone to read through. It's the story of a woman who was badly bullied throughout school, both physically and verbally, and overcame it. Helen Carroll dealt with bullies throughout her life - in school, at home, and in the workplace - and actually thanks her bullies for what they've done.


"Incredible though it might sound, I believe it did me good. It was, quite possibly, one of the best things that ever happened to me.
I quickly worked out that unless they could provide me with a round-the-clock armed guard, neither my teachers nor my parents would be able to protect me from bullies. So I stopped reporting their crimes and got to work on strategies for handling them myself."

She fought the bullies by not actually fighting. She learned incredible self control and wouldn't cry in front of them, wouldn't get angry, and never let anything they said get to her. She just picked herself back up and pretended that nothing happened and eventually they stopped bothering her. Without that feedback, the bullies basically got bored -  a lessons he later taught her son when he was having bullying problems in school as well.
