When someone is bugging you, DE-BUG!
Try these steps:

- Exit – Walk away.
- Be Friendly – Use Friendly Words.
Give an "I–Message":
"I feel (feeling word) when you (what the person is doing) . Please (what you want to happen) ." - Use Firm Words. "I am really (feeling word) . Stop it, right now!!"
- Get Adult Help.
