Let’s say there’s this guy/gal that always goes out of their way to treat you like trash. They always try to make you look bad, twist your words around and spread horrible rumours about you in order to turn everybody against you.

**Modhat** : Closed as pretty much a duplicate thread. I was about to change forums and realized this was pretty much a repeat Op from just a few days ago. Please see the existing thread on this subject from poster. > [@Would you save the life of your bully?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-save-the-life-of-your-bully/941855): > > Due to an incident in which one of my nieces was indirectly involved, I’d like to know the opinion of everyone on this matter.
