Good for you, here’s the thing though they’ve done studies on the long term affects of bullying. It’s not just about standing up to the one bully. That treats the symptom while leaving a rotting core. And all your chanting of “don’t let words hurt you” has resulted in generations of psychologically scarred human beings.
Oh good you’re teaching self defense and continuing to instill the idea into people that when bad things happen to people they are to blame. You realize this literally perpetuates the situation because even if the people you teach are never in those positions they now carry the nugget of “wisdom” thanks to the class that the victim should have done something to not have had whatever happen to them.
“It’s better to not be in the situation” no it’s better for the cause of the situation, the bully or criminal, to not create the situation. What you are doing is victim blaming.
In these situations doing what you’re doing allows the situation to continue to happen because you’re forever treating the symptoms rather than the cause.
