The Bully Game: Teacher vs. Brooks Gibbs 

I like that, swallowed into a black hole of agreement

Thanks!!! This changed my life! Even though I knew I was losing I got even more upset since no one is able to see what those fkng bullies do. I learned my lessons, it‘s not about who did wrong and who not, it is about winning the game. And that „fogging“ technique leads you there. Bullies pick on you since they enjoy your upsetting reaction..You just need to disarm that by agreeing or laufhing it off.

Yes

agreed

Like when someone's exclusion is not necessarily spelt out or said so obviously. You can't verbally react to those who exclude you with nothing more than being mean "turn around" "go away" "fuck off" kids say things like that to you and it's hard to know how to deal with people being very nasty to you.

I feel like this works more during a regular argument.

Sky Night wow really he went to your school?

He is about to come to my school

Sky Night he came to my school today and chose a 6th grader to play this game

Sky Night not fair

Where are his other videos?

Keep practicing and it will get easier.

Unfortunately some have "the gift of the gab" and sweet talk their way out of ANY situation and it's really hard to bully someone when you really want to because most people don't feel the need to hurt others. That's probably why the principal couldn't bully Brooks easily - because it was a somewhat unrealistic example of how a true bully would behave.

I used it in high school way before his teachings as a student being victimized by verbal abuse bullies. Back then I believe people called it reverse psychology. Worked for me. I still use it today in the comments section on every social media platform, but especially on YT

Michelle Huang He talks about it in another one of his videos called "Bullying simplified". violence isn't bullying, it's a crime.

Thanks for the info

that's called asault and battery'

Michelle Huang thats ASSULT AND BATTERY

Yeah, unfortunately, that little mantra isn't going to help you out a whole lot when a bully gets his hands on you and starts pounding your face into the ground. Good luck saying "This is a crime". The lesson is this: learn to defend yourself.

Of course not. This is complete nonsense. If a bully is determined to fuck up your day, the last thing you want to do is debase yourself in front of the bully. This works for low-level "bullies", but it's absolute suicide if the bully has real malicious intent.

@@sydney8145 That statement is supposed to help your argument, because look at you

well guess what. your the bully here wrighting a hate coment hahahahahahahahaha

"There's only one reason you get bullied: You get upset". This is the truth. You don't have to debase yourself. You can be a non-fearful egoic person in other ways. He doesn't prescribe the method of acting. He simply tells the truth of what the bully needs to happen. Trying to confront the bully also means the bully wins and escalates the situation to potentially violence when there's a root cause that could be addressed first even if you do wanna escalate to violence.

Does that change the meaning of this movie in any way?

@@Henckques This is a movie?

you probably didnt get his point he was making in the video because you behave exactly like a bully wants you to behave (getting all upset and triggered). i have type 1 diabeties myself and let me tell you one thing you either learn to laugh about it or your gonna have a bad time, no one needs you to police language on behalf of diabetics we can handle our own. also best wishes to your kids

dont be such a drama queen,he didnt mean no harm!

Oh, no! Are you OFFENDED?! You're going to have one hell of a time in life if you can't handle that joke. Your feelings aren't that important to most people in the real world. You are in for one rude awakening once you leave the bubble-wrapped perimeter of public education.

I see ableism is alive and well.
