Three Keys to Triumphing over Bullying
Anyone can bully or be a target of bullying. Bullying can take many forms.
Have you experienced any of these kinds of abuse?
Physical bullying (punching, kicking, pushing, beating up, tripping, biting, choking, depriving you of sleep or food or medical attention, destroying your things, "play-fighting" that you don't want, etc.)
Emotional bullying (threatening, name-calling, insults, put-downs, blame, excessive crticism, shouting, humiliating, stalking, hurtful "jokes", etc.)
Social bullying (isolating, spreading false rumours, insulting someone in public, excluding, shunning, back-stabbing, gossiping, hurtful "jokes" that belittle you in front of others, etc.)
Prejudiced bullying (using homophobia, racism, sexism, ableism, ageism or other prejudices against you)
Sexual bullying (sexually harassing comments, cartoons, gestures, oggling, unwanted touch, any unwanted sexual contact)
Mental bullying (lying, using guilt or fear to manipulate you, cult or mind abuse techniques, "ex-gay" brainwashing, using group pressure to manipulate you, forced confessions, "us verses them" attitudes that belittle outsiders, supposedly "perfect" or infallible group leaders, etc.)
Financial bullying (theft, or using lying, guilt or fear to get money from you, etc.)
Cyberbullying (sending hurtful messages, pictures, or information by email, instant messages, text messaging or voicemail, etc.).
Dealing with bullying is not easy. It can leave you feeling isolated, alone, scared, frustrated, angry, ashamed and even guilty. Remember, the bullying is NOT your fault. Bullying is usually a sad, misguided attempt by the bully to get rid of their own pain.
You can triumph over bullying. I did. There are three things you need:
1) Safety plan (for example, finding ways of avoiding the bullying, building supportive friendships, learning Aikido or self-defense, carrying a cell phone and/or camera, writing down any verbal bullying, switching schools or jobs if necessary, etc.)
2) Support (you can check out our community resources section on this web site, Google "gay support __________" with your country in the blank, search for a nearby gay-straight alliance, or even join some of our social networks)
3) Self-confidence (to build self-confidence, begin each day by listing five or more things that you like about yourself, treat yourself as you would a lover or a great best friend, stand proud with a smile, breathe deeply to relax, and/or check out the videos on this site to build a sense of pride in being gay, lesbian, bi, or trans.)

Help for Your Parents
Coming out as gay, lesbian, bisexual or trans (GLBT) can be a struggle. Due to homophobia in society, it can also be a struggle for families of the person who has come out. The GLBT person has likely agonized over the decision to "tell" for some time. And parents may find themselves battling with their children AND their own feelings.
I provide Emotional Coaching for mothers and fathers. Sessions can take place by phone or skype. I offer a parents safe place to talk and tools that will help them feel better about themselves AND their children. I'm a certified Emotional Freedom Techniques Practitioner, a life coach, a mother and a grandmother. If you would like a free e-book or more information, please visit http://www.parentswithproblems.com
"As a professional coach myself, I've worked with many other coaches, and Sue is one of the best. Her coaching is among the fastest, most effective and most powerful. It has been life-changing for me. I especially recommend Sue to parents and anyone in the GLBT community." Sharon Love, M.Ed. (Psychology)
