This is anecdotal (is it really that anecdotal?), but I have been called so many names throughout my life, and my response is almost always &quot;go fuck yourself&quot;, whether said out loud (in so many words) or internally. I honestly don&#x27;t care, and the bullies don&#x27;t stop me.<p>Adults don&#x27;t need institutions to protect them from name calling and hurtful words. Children do.
