Steps to Quickly Resolve Conflict and Repair Broken Trust from the Bully to the Victim
Seung-Hui Cho, Virginia Tech Student, was bullied by fellow high school students who mocked his shyness and the strange way he talked, according to classmates. He probably heard “Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!” over and over again. “Sorry” a word forced under pressure in schools across the country. “Sorry” is what students like Cho receive over and over again, and then the perpetrator receives a time out, detention, work detail, suspension or expulsion. “Lociento” is the Spanish word for Sorry and means “I feel for you.” Picture someone forced in anger to say “Sorry!” but instead insert the phrase “I feel for you!!!” Sounds ludicrous. Now imagine someone punching a student in the nose and then shortly thereafter saying “I feel for you!” After this insincere, forced apology, the perpetrator then becomes resentful toward the victim and attempts to be more covert in hurting or provoking the victim the next time. Additionally, these punishments isolate or further creates a divide between the perpetrator from the victim rather than repair the relationship.
Sick of “Sorry!” “Sorry, Sorry, Sorry! Sound familiar. Ask a 2nd grader what does “Sorry” mean and they will say “That I will never do it again!” However, we all know they are just sorry because they were caught and the victim knows it’s going to come their way again.
Sorry means “I feel for you,” for example at a funeral you might say, “I am sorry for your loss,” because you “feel” for their loss. If you bump into someone and they drop their books you would say, “I am sorry . . . may I help you pick up your books!” Unfortunately, “sorry” is used more for “I feel bad I was caught!”
– I was wrong and will try never to do it again.”
– “Will you Forgive me?”
– Victim: “I was hurt or frustrated, but I forgive you” – Important for the Victim to name the feeling.
What is the Benefits of Forgiving? Research says a forgiving victim lives 8 years longer than one who holds on to forgiveness!
How Can I Make It Up to You? Apologies are empty and still leave the victim feeling they can not trust the person as much as they did before the person hurt them. Download ways to quickly “Make it Up” to the person so they will trust you more than before they were hurt.
– If I said something mean I can say 4 nice character or compliment their personality or talents.

“You Suck John! You’re parents paid off the coach so you could be on the JV Basketball Team! That’s the only way you could make the team,” as John retells the story of how his teammates bullied him and tried to get him to quit the team! John had been going to school with his head down to avoid eye contact with is aggressors until one day he took Jim West’s advice, author of the StressLess with Bullying for Students and Parents!
John received more of the same messages on his Facebook and used the StressLess advice and responded with “Yeah I do suck at basketball and I wish I could shoot a 3 point shot like you David! Do you think you could help me with my shot at practice tomorrow?”
There was a 5 minutes pause. Can you imagine what David’s reaction was when he first read John’s response? John then replies “Ok . . . See you at practice!”
John recalls the next day he went to school with his head down and David saw him and said “Hey John . . See you at practice!” John was so relieved and held his head hi as his confidence was up and he knew now how to roll with the teasing.
