Apathy does nothing. It offers no solace, no reinforcement, no condemnation.
"Don't react to bullies" is a fucking stupid concept.
You also require no solace, no reinforcement, etc. Pride doesn't condemn either. You can condemn seperately by saying they clearly give a shit about the inconsequential, etc.
It isn't "Don't react to bullies."
It's "Don't let them get to you."
You can react all you like.
So you advocate for a form of retaliation? That can worsen any situation.
