INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you or someone you know is being bullied, talk to someone you trust, such as a coach, teacher, parent, or guidance counselor. Tell them what is going on so you can get some help with the situation. Some schools even have programs set up specifically designed to deal with bullying. Bullying is when someone is humiliated, made fun of, or abused over time by their peers. It's not just getting in an argument or even someone calling someone else bad names. It's not just a single incident, but an ongoing campaign against a person. Getting into a fight can get you into serious trouble, even if you didn't start it. Many schools have a zero-tolerance policy for violence, and you could be expelled from school or worse.  If they continue to come after you, turn to face them, but maintain your distance. Keep them at arm's length at all times, as if they get closer, they can tackle or punch you.  In some areas, you can even be charged with a crime, particularly if you're 17 or 18, depending on the legal age you become an adult in your state. Don't glare at them or stare at the ground. Rather, hold their gaze and show them you have confidence. If you show aggression, you can egg them on. If you show vulnerability, they may want to start the fight even more. Starting a fight can get you in even more trouble than just defending yourself. Once you throw that punch, you never know how things are going to turn out. You could be seriously injured, ending up with broken teeth or even a concussion, or you could injure someone else just as badly. No matter what happens, whether you win or lose, you're still going to lose because there will be consequences. Try to find another way than throwing a punch. Walk away or find some help. Some people will only fight you if there are no witnesses around, particularly if there are no teachers to see it. Yell as loud as you can to get people to come to your aid. If people arrive, you may not need to fight. Try yelling, "Fire," "Help!" or "Call 911."

SUMMARY: Report bullying when it happens. Walk away from the fight to avoid getting into trouble. Look the person in the eye with confidence. Avoid throwing the first punch. Get the attention of people nearby to help squash the fight.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When you speak to someone, you make eye contact with them. This shows that you are listening attentively, and that you are focused on the conversation. This rule applies for girls as much as it does for boys. By making eye contact with her, you show her that you respect her. This doesn't mean that you should stare unblinkingly into her eyes. You can allow your gaze to shift about, but try to stay focused on her eyes as much as possible. Listen to what girls have to say and avoid dominating the conversation. Conversation between two people is give and take. After you say something, give her a chance to respond. When she is saying something, wait until she finishes speaking to respond. If you are truly listening, your response will be relevant to what she has said and add substance to the conversation. Try to practice active listening, such as by:  Using neutral statements to show you are paying attention, such as “yes,” “I see,” and uh-huh.” Asking probing questions to keep her talking, such as “What happened next? “How did that make you feel?” and “What are you going to do now?” Restating to ensure you understood what she said, such as by saying, “It sounds like you are saying ____. Is that right?” Basically every culture has some version of “The Golden Rule” that basically says “Treat others as you would like to be treated.” Well, this is applies to girls as well. Using degrading and disrespectful slurs (anything from calling her a “gold digger” to implying that boys are smarter than girls) is not an appropriate way to talk to, or about, girls. Take some time to reflect on your attitude towards girls to help you determine what your biases might be.  For example, do you tend to associate women with certain careers, behaviors, or social roles? Are you skeptical of women in positions of power? Make a list of things that you consider your biases against women.  Do not allow this behavior from other people. If a friend is being disrespectful towards girls, point it out and correct them. Avoid obsessive swearing, passing gas, burping, etc. While it’s best practice to avoid this things around any person, girls tend to be less amused by these behaviors than boys. Accidents happen, for example, a burp slips out after dinner, and that’s okay. Say excuse me and move on.  Try to practice good manners, such as by saying please and thank you, paying attention during conversations, offering help, and opening doors. The point is to avoid being deliberately rude, not to be a robot.

SUMMARY:
Make eye contact when talking. Allow her to speak. Assess your attitude towards girls. Mind your manners.
