  Case: Name Calling
I have a student that insists on making up nicknames for every student in the class. The names are not necessarily bad but a lot of the students don't like them and it makes them upset, what is the best way to handle this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Ignore the insult. Don’t assume just because the bully says you are stupid that anyone believes that. If you know that is simply not true, everyone else probably does to. Often times a bully is going to pick on the most obvious thing about you that he or she thinks will bother you. Instead of taking it as an insult recognize it for what it is
