How To Handle Bullying

Have you ever been bullied before, whether as a kid, teenager, or adult?

What did you do about the bullying situation? Did you let it go? Did you stand up for yourself? Did you suffer in silence? Did you seek help from others?

Today’s article is an important, 6,600+ word guide on how to handle bullying.

Bullying

What constitutes bullying? Here’s what Wikipedia has to say:

Bullying is a form of aggressive behavior, which may manifest as abusive treatment, the use of force or coercion to affect others, particularly when habitual and involving an imbalance of power. It may involve verbal harassment, physical assault or coercion and may be directed persistently towards particular victims, perhaps on grounds of race, religion, gender, sexuality, or ability.

The “imbalance of power” may be social power and/or physical power. The victim of bullying is sometimes referred to as a “target”.

Bullying consists of three basic types of abuse – emotional,…

Ask Celes – Should I Tell My Ex That I Cheated On Him Before?

This is part of the Ask Celes series, where readers were invited to ask me anything they want. The section is now over but you can read all Q&As here: Ask Celes Section.

Hi Celes, should I tell my ex I cheated on him before, even though that wasn’t the reason why we split up? He wants me back but this question is hindering my decision making. – Sharon

Hi Sharon, I think whatever we do in life, it’s always good to be guided by a set of internal values. One of the timeless values that applies to everyone, and which will guide us to being a person of highest consciousness IMO, is the value of truth. (Speaking of which, truth is one of my 5 core values – I believe in being forthright and upfront, and always been truthful in all my dealings.)

Even though your ex may not know about your past infidelity, and even though it wasn’t the reason you split up, it doesn’t change the fact that there was once a breach of trust in the relationship. From your question, I’m assuming that it was agreed to be a monogamous relationship, where there would be exclusivity to each other.

The questions to ask yourself would be:

Ask Celes – How Do I Stay With a Cheating Spouse?

This is part of the Ask Celes series, where readers were invited to ask me anything they want. The section is now over but you can read all Q&As here: Ask Celes Section.

Hi Celes, how do I stay with a dishonest and cheating spouse? - Arti

Hi Arti, if your spouse has cheated / is cheating on you, I don’t think the question is how to stay with him/her – it’s about what to do with the relationship.

Now I’m not married and I’ve never been married before (I’ll only marry when I find the right person for me, and even then I don’t see marriage to be of extremely high importance in life – at least not the level that society tends to assign to it. I think it’s more important to be with the right person than to marry for the sake of marrying), so perhaps I’m not the best person to comment in this area.

But it figures that if someone is cheating, the person has already breached the trust in the relationship. Whatever were the original confines of the relationship no longer hold true. This includes staying on in the relationship for the other party.

The question comes to – Is he/she repentant for his/her actions? Is he/she going to…
