Have you been bullied at work? Or even in church or at home?
How was it resolved?
What sort of people bully? What sort of people are bullies?
What about turning the other cheek?
Me, too.Man, I wish I had had her confidence when I was in school.

I addressed this with my tutors, and was made to write my notes including all the care I had done for that particular patient.How was it resolved?
I think bullies are people who are very insecure. People who are secure in themselves, and who they are as people dont need to inflict horizontal violence on other peopleWhat sort of people bully? What sort of people are bullies?

Bully? You mean like in a physical way or more by way of harassment?
In school, I had three potential bullies. The first hit me in the face and I laughed at him. The second I threw down a set of bleachers in the gym. The third wound up getting hurt rather badly. Right or wrong, I was of the mindset that if I caused them enough trouble they wouldn't bother with me anymore, and it worked.
I think bullies in work (or church) are more people seeking to establish their place of dominance for whatever reason. It's important to establish boundaries to let them know exactly where that line is they shouldn't cross. For example, my manager hired a new contractor in December to help me with my workload. On about her second day there, she started criticizing everything we did as wrong, and how screwed up our processes were and how much work she'll have to do to correct it, blah blah blah.
When she finished whining, I ever so politely explained to her that the processes were not created for her, the world did not start revolving around the sun the day she started working there, and her job was to 'assist' me, not run the place. And I said it in such a way the she knew I was willing to put all this behind me but if it happened again I would rip the throat out of her neck. She been a great help ever since.
As for the 'turning the other cheek' part, I'm still working on that.
Let me cover 'turning the other cheek' first. IMO this is misrepresented. To be slapped in the face in Yeshua's day was to be accused of being in error. To turn the other cheek was to stand your ground in defiance of their attack and not back down from your position. Turning the other cheek does not imply letting anyone walk all over you. The time Yeshua was slapped was when he was before the High Priest. He did not back down and admit error.Have you been bullied at work? Or even in church or at home?
