		<description>He says these things because he knows he can influence you.  Why are you afraid to wear your glasses just because some idiot is running off at the mouth?

The way I&#039;d handle someone like this is tune them out.  Just ignore him and don&#039;t let him influence your behavior at all.  It&#039;ll frustrate him.  When he tries to escalate or people ask you why you don&#039;t answer, say it&#039;s because he&#039;s mentally ill and you feel sorry for him.

Show him nothing but pity.  The more he gets in your face, the more you you treat him like you feel sorry for him and that what he&#039;s doing is a cry for help.

If that doesn&#039;t work, take the next step and get others in on the showing him pity when he acts well...pathetic.  Eventually he&#039;ll get tired of getting pity in exchange for being an asshole, instead of fear.  He wants people to be scared of him, but that is a sorry way to live one&#039;s life.  That&#039;s going to kick him in the butt eventually because nobody wants to hire someone who can&#039;t control themselves enough to avoid juvenile insults.

&quot;Four eyes&quot;???  Come on.  That&#039;s so preschool.

Feeling sorry for my wannabe bully in high school is part of what got him off my case.  I just started reacting to him with this Mother Teresa look and a sigh.  It was funny to watch him spin his wheels.</description>

		<description>I have been called ugly, fat, four eyes, dumb, stupid, etc. by the same person over and over again. I feel like punching him (but i wouldn&#039;t dare) or telling on him. I don&#039;t want to be a snitch and my parents don&#039;t help. My friends try to stick up for me but he always states he simply doesn&#039;t care about my feelings. I was called four eyes recently and I&#039;m afraid to wear glasses--what do i do?</description>
