Description of technique:
In a VERY public place and in the loudest voice you can muster, ask the bully, "How long have you had Zachary Syndrome?" Then, when he or anyone else asks, "What's that?" say to him in a VERY LOUD VOICE so all the other kids can hear you, "That's when your face looks exzarchary like your butt!"

Important: DON'T LAUGH (you'll get even more credibility and confidence listing to the laughs of the surrounding kids) and WALK AWAY RIGHT AWAY while the other kids are laughing. The walk away leaves the Bully looking stupid and you looking confident!

Age group this technique is effective for:
Middle School
High School & Beyond
