In every school, there is usually a kid who is the class bully and picks on other kids. Normally, these kids think that they can walk all over everyone and get away with it. They aren’t concerned with other people’s needs or feelings.
Most well-meaning parents tell their child to take the higher road, not to talk back or say anything to the bully. They think that their kid should be the bigger person in the situation. If your child doesn’t say anything back to the kid who has been raised without boundaries or ever hearing the word no, they might think your kid is an easy mark. If your kid doesn’t respond, the class bully thinks that your child will continue to take their taunts, but if your child uses a comeback, they will move on to someone else who is too afraid to respond.
The one thing you have to be careful of is saying something at school that can make you look like the bad guy and get you in trouble. The comebacks below will help you defend yourself against class bullies. Even better, you can use them in front of the teacher or in class without getting called to the principal’s office.
Top ten comebacks kids can use at school
1. Where’s your off button?
2. Unless your name is Google stop acting like you know everything.
3. You should use glue stick instead of ChapStick.
4. I’ve been called worse by better.
5. I don’t hate you, I’m just simply not excited about your existence.
6. If you’re waiting for me to care, you better pack a lunch. It’s going to be a while.
7. You would be much more likable if it wasn’t for that hole in your mouth that noise comes out of.
8. Is your drama going to have an intermission soon?
9. I make my haters my motivators!
10. If you can’t be kind, then be quiet.
You may not know what to do if mean kids are teasing your child
Schools aren’t going to teach your child how to stand up for themselves, that is a skill that your kids need to learn at home from their parents. Learning to be assertive is a skill that will serve your child for life, and it is better to learn how to stand up for yourself at an early age.
Parents can also help their child build self-esteem and confidence by encouraging them to pursue activities they enjoy and to spend time with friends who are positive influences. It’s important to remind your child that they are valued and loved, and that bullying is never their fault.
If the bullying persists, parents may need to seek additional support from a counsellor or therapist who can help their child develop coping strategies and build resilience. Remember, it’s important to take action to shut down the bullying and support your child’s well-being.
Start by listening to your child and let them know that you believe in them, they are capable and that they are not alone.
Parents should try to remain calm and not overreact, as this can make the situation worse for their child. Although that is easier said than done when you are worried about your child.
Selena Gomez was picked on by other kids at school
Selena Gomez was bullied in elementary school. The experienced shaped Selena, she has gone on to help others and bring awareness to bullying. She was the Executive Producer on Netflix series about what kids go through when they endure bullying.
I was bullied every second of every day in elementary and middle school, Obviously, people are going to bring you down because of your drive. But, ultimately, it makes you a stronger person. – Selena Gomez
Parents can be devastated when their child is teased by mean kids at school
As a mother, Sarah was devastated when she found out her daughter was being teased at school. She knew all too well the pain and emotional turmoil that came with being bullied. Memories of her own experiences in elementary school came flooding back, and she felt helpless to protect her daughter from the same pain.
Sarah tried to stay strong for her daughter, but the emotions were overwhelming. She found herself stressed at night, reliving her own experiences and feeling the pain of her daughter’s struggles. She knew she had to do something to help her daughter, but didn’t know where to start.
Eventually, Sarah decided to teach her daughter how to deal with teasing because the school wasn’t doing much to help. Her daughter started using humour to deflect mean comments for a jealous girl in her class.
Sarah was relieved to see her daughter’s confidence slowly return, and she knew that she had made the right decision to give her daughter the skills she needed to deal with the situation.

Wow! I love your comebacks! I can use them at school because there is this really mean bully in my class and when ever you trip he says “You trip’n!” And he laughs. And it makes you fell bad but makes him fell good. He is selfish. And he acts so funny but in a mean way, he hurts people. And burns you with really mean jokes witch are not funny. And apparently he lives on my street!!! But thanks to you with your funny comebacks you saved me and my friends loves! You are a life saver!! Thank you very much!!! ??????????????
remember dear, if he tells you to shut up you say, “i dont shut up i grow up, and when i see you… I FEEL SICK!!!” that one really strikes the bully where it hurts. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!
You seem really really nice, of course you probably forgot about this web site but I hoped everything worked out, I came because there’s this boy and he’s kinda mean so I snapchat him a comeback of course it worked, thanks so much about these comebacks, they’re fantastic?
I am really sorry to hear that. Maybe i have got one she can use!
Maybe try: I’m sorry I’m a NICE person! A pretty face is nothing without a good heart. Go swallow the amount of make-up your moms wear, maybe it will make you guys nice people. No amount of make-up can hide your ugly hearts. It’s just to bad you are half each of your family’s genes which means you contain half their personalitys as well. Did you inhabit that from your moms side of the family? Those Designer clothes you brag about owning are enough to suggest a sadistic weirdo. I don’t know if it will get her into trouble but at least it will shut them up. Thanks for letting me help the problem!
Shock me, say something intelligent.
I had a nightmare. I dreamed I was you.
You only annoy me when you are breathing.
Am I getting smart with you? How would you know?
