Top Ten Comebacks Kids Can use at School

Check out our clean comebacks KIDS CAN USE AT SCHOOL

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.

      1. wow! 1,2 & 8 were the best! I shut my whole lot up at school and never got in trouble since I never used any swear words. love this site. :p

  2. Here’s a good comeback

    Bully: You look like an ugly hag! Like the one from Snow White!
    Me: Good! I was trying to look like you today!

  3. Got some
    1) People like you have no future
    2) You’re the reason why shampoo has instructions
    3) Are you a Newspaper? Cause their is a new issue with you every day

  4. 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!!! ??????????????

    1. 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!!!!!!!!!!!

    1. 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?

  5. Guys give me ideas about comebacks cause my sis at school is getting bullied by her friends and she is still in grade 1!

    1. just say you only pick on people cause they have a better life and you are a sad loser so go pick on someone else with a sad lonely life like u :b

      1. 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!

  6. My comebacks r have u looked in the mirror by any chance did it crack? And when u r asleep in bed ur pillow cries because it has to sleep with u.

  7. Theres this really mean girl in my class she always calls me stupid and ugly So then I started using these comebacks and they really helped thanks!!

    Your birth certificate was a sorry letter from the doctors

    Were you born on the highway? Because thats where most accidents happen

    Oh you think you know everything? Well here’s something You don’t know your annoying

    Do yourself a favor and ignore anyone who tells you to be yourself bad idea in your case

  9. if someone calls you stupid you say is that right well what exactly have you accomplished in your life time that makes you Einstein

  10. Shock me, say something intelligent.
    I had a nightmare. I dreamed I was you.
