The way to work with a bully is to take the ball and go home. First time, every time. When there's no ball, there's no game. Bullies hate that. So they'll either behave so they can play with you or they'll go bully someone else.

Normal people have an incredible lack of empathy.

Or the autistic kid having a meltdown in the school cafeteria because there's too much stimulation.
Temple Grandin

Good, School, Emotional

Anna Kendrick

Good, Someone, Days
