Let me say that I am German born and based, so many things discussed here are things that I have never experienced.

I, personally, am not afraid of abduction. Who would abduct a middle aged woman without the means to make it a commercial success?

I find that bullying is the main problem one is facing in everyday life and, sadly, your “Bullies” category only contains advice for children and their parents.

I am naturally unafraid and although that is supposed to make bullies back off, I have found that it does rather spur on a certain type of bully, namely the one to whom meeting a “kiss my ass” attitude after his bullying overture seems to be highly provocative. So what is one supposed to do? A firearm is no option and the police doesn’t help. My own solution will be a sizeable dog, but that is no option for many people either.

An attitude change? Not on your life!

Any suggestions?
