Top ten comebacks for verbal bullies

Great comebacks for VERBAL BULLIES

We all know someone who appears to be your friend and who smiles at you and then delivers a zinger of an insult, leaving you speechless. What’s even worse is they do it every time you see them, leaving you feeling ambushed once again by a nasty remark.

Jackson was sitting quietly in math class when the class idiot came up, put his arm around his shoulder, and called him, “my cabrone.” Connor meant to say, “my bitch” only his Spanish wasn’t so hot, and he ended up saying, “my asshole.”

Connor had embarrassed Jackson before, so this time he was ready. Jackson had four comebacks on the top of his tongue, and he said a few in front of the entire class. Everyone cracked up laughing at Connor’s expense, and he never bothered Jackson again.

  1. I think this is excellent adcvie. I do agree that usually, completely ignoring the bully works, but as you say if there is anything physical, or threat of physical violence, you should tell an adult. Great article!

    1. I did that one on a girl but I said “you dick belongs in your pants not your personality and before you say you don’t have a dick, go and grow a pair cuz there is something disgusting popping out of your personality

    1. Hi Hannah,

      I am glad that you like the site and that it is helping you out. A lot of kids say that once they deliver a few great comebacks, all of a sudden people stop picking on them. Bullies often pick on people they think won’t respond.

      If someone is continuously picking on you, it would be a great idea to tell an adult. Sometimes things can be challenging for kids to figure out.

      Let me know if you ever need help with a comeback.

      1. What is a good comeback for parents who seem to “pick” on the oldest kid? It happens to me ALL the time.

  2. Where were you years ago?
