Then you haven't been paying attention. It's a fairly common story: "I used to get wound up and react to bullies, but as soon as I stopped reacting, they got bored and stopped."

It matches most of my experiences with bullying, although mostly this was in the form of bullies trying to start teasing me, and giving up in disgust when they couldn't get a rise out of me. But I'm also aware that my own experiences were fairly tame, and not at all representative of other people's, which is my point.

I've dealt with bullies in this way too. It does depend on the bully, as well if the victim is capable of completely ignoring someone like that. As a child, I wouldn't have been able to show no emotion on my face and ignore someone teasing me as I wore my heart on my sleeve.
