Why do teachers tell you to laugh at the bully when your getting bullied?

[Alzza]

When you get bullied, why do teachers tell you to laugh at him? to make him question you about whats funny?
Because i think that the bully will bash the crap out of you 10% harder!

Because teachers are way too far removed from school to really understand it. Plus, modern society seems hell bent on raising a generation of wimps. Best thing to do is fight back. If the bully is bigger than you, even the odds. Full your lunchbox with rocks and beat the bully. Or sucker punch him. Or get a few friends and all jump him at once.

my sensei (martial arts master) told me this once

when ur bullied, always look around and check ur environment, next laugh at the bully, let him strike first to show he started the fight, dodge the strike and use the environment to kill him!! (pick up a chair and smash him to hell) buwhahaha

Bullies should be arrested for assault when they do what they do.
Handcuffed and dragged to the TEEN GULAG.
The teachers are saying this because they are too chicken **** to do anything about it.
It's probably not in their contract.
And you know Union people....
they only do the absolute minimum required.

Bullies are trying to exert their power over you. When you laugh, you show that it didn't work. You took your power back.

Well in the real world, there are not actually bullies that just go around beating people up

break him mentally.
make such rude remarks to him that he won't fight you.
make it to the point where he cries and wishes he were dead.
