What do you do if after say a snappy comeback in you walk away and the person follows behind you to keep picked on you?
Hey Neil,
Follow your intuition, if you feel unsafe make sure that you are in a public space and tell someone. The purpose of the comebacks are to help you stand up for yourself but not to start a physical confrontation. A lot of people find that once they use a few comebacks the other person backs off. You don’t want a situation to escalate. Good luck Neil.

Im always getting roasted and some of the comebacks dont work i got jumped just for saying a really funny one
One more comeback is missing…
“I’m sorry, but I’m not a mirror”
And if the bully still saying “ofc your not a mirror, you’re a human”
Then comeback with “your a human too right? Then why you call other human ugly if you’re self a human?”
When someone calls you ugly. Just say “Are you sure? Because last times I checked I wasn`t a mirror to you” or you can say “Okey! we match”
I would insult you back but Mother Nature has already done such a fine job, I just couldn’t compete.
lol that is the most amazing thing ever
Hi I’m alison and I wanted know what I should say if a boy in school has been picking on me for the last week and what a good comeback should be plz tell me
Hi Allison,
Here are a few things you can say. Talk to someone in your life about what is going on.
You have the rest of your life to be a jerk. Why not take today off?
The only thing is wrong with me, is I’m talking to you.
I hope one day, you choke on the shit you talk.
It’s better to let someone think you are an idiot than to open your mouth and prove it.
Good luck,
Bryn
