User:Mckenziecalhoun/Face the Darkness: How to recognize bullying on Roblox

Bullying is a widespread practice, but often hard to define in an easy way. Here are some simple rules that may help: A) If the game has weapons, you are meant to fight; it is not bullying. B) If the person doesn't want to fight and avoids you, then leave them alone; people that don't are forcing fights on those who don't want one, like a needy teen on a date unable to accept "NO' for an answer. C) If the person speaks another language, consider using Google Translate and LISTENING to them. D) If they repeatedly insult, or interrupt with nonsense to get attention, they are trolling, a form of verbal bullying.  If asked to stop talking to someone and they won't, then that is a form of bullying. E) Spawn killing is a form of bullying. F) If the game is designed and described as DOING these things, it is NOT bullying and people know what they are getting into. G) Threats of any kind, incluidng self harm threats, ar a kind of bullying, trying to for others to do what you want through extortion and are against Roblox Rules. Solutions? A) Talk to them. B) Report them. C) Whether they are are targetting you or another, stand up to them, verbally and physically, without breaking Roblox rules, and encourage others to do so. Nothing stops a bullying more than realizing they have a clear and judgmental audience. D) And if you bully, choose to stop. If you forget and do it again, stop again. YOU are responsible for your own choices. It's not an accident, forced on you or just "how you are". Take responsibility for everything you do and you grow more powerful. Deny your responsibility and you prove yourself weak and helpless. You're better than that. Trust me, a former bully.
