I love my sister. I will support and help her always. I think if she's being bullied, I will go to school with her and ask her who is bullying her. I will talk to the bullies not to bully my sister and warn them. My friend told me also the same situation like this and he said he let her 11 year old sister strongly punch the face of the bully because the bully was always punching her in the face. I will also talk to their teacher about this. I think there are bullies in every school in elementary and high school but I think not in college.

I think what you did is ABSOLUTELY right!! It helps when you talk to those bullies and ask them if they feel anything wrong about your beloved sister. You try to coax to stop bullying her. And talking to teachers is also a good idea, because at least, the teachers will pay attention towards the bullies and your sister.

This probably isn't the best thing to do, but it was ME, I'd find the bullies and ask them nicely to stop. If it continued, then I'd just get really rude and ignorant with them. At the risk of seeming like a jerk, sometimes the only way to get through to people is to be firm. And yes, people in college make attempts to bully people too.

In my opinion, older brother and sisters or even parents shouldn't get involved in such things. Talking to the bullies and interfering will only make matters worse because once you leave, the bullies will go back to bullying them and also make fun of them for "running back to mommy" and how they need other people's help. I think the only way is to tell your little sister to ignore what they say and carry on living life without bothering about them. The lesser she bothers with the bullies, they might not even find it fun to bully her anymore. It won't be easy to get her to stop being affected by the bullies, but in my opinion that's the only way, for her to stand up for herself and just take the bullying in the face without flinching. It'll stop after awhile. And take this from someone who got bullied like crazy when I was younger and had my parents step in. Trust me, it only gets worse, till the point where she might not even want to involve you in her life (eg. telling you about the problems she's having) for fear of you making it worse for her.
