Let me start with quote " growing up is the ability to laugh at things that once pissed you off as a kid ". Yes, humor definitely is a weapon against humiliation. If you keep your mind open there is humour in everything,even in death. Infact you will never feel humiliated if you can laugh at the insults that people make. Eventually what happens is that the bullies are no longer interested in humiliating you cause they cant make you feel humiliated. People need to learn to laugh at themselves.
