Get a partner...i mean support

You want to get support for what you say or your ideas in front of your colleagues/co-workers or friends. Bring along a partner, a friend, a sidekick. When you have support, people are hesitant to talk you down because you appear strong and not alone.

Anger...used cautiously can tame some people...

People like to step over the weak. Sometimes anger managed well can fend off the bullies who pick on the weak. Being angry and reacting to something unfair may prevent future repetition. But, use your anger wisely, so that you are not ostracized.
