So as to help those being bullied, if you feel you have a good, non-violent way to handle the situation, or have been in this situation and were able to resolve it, please share your experience here.

Everyone has a right to defend themselves, but what about those who don't want to fight back, but wish we could live in a society where we respect eachother. What about those who have gone to their parents and gone to their counselor, only to be ignored, brushed off, or told "just stay away from the bully"? It is as if the parents, counselors, and teachers don't remember what it was like, or have never experienced the gut dropping, anxiety ridden sensation of entering the locker room, knowing it will only amount to embarassment or pain.
