== [[Literature]] ==
* ''[[Harry Potter]]'': Luna Lovegood just smiles and shrugs it off when people steal her things or give her nicknames, though her [[Room Full of Crazy|bedroom]] reveals that Harry & co.'s friendship is a bigger deal than she let on.
** Subverted with {{spoiler|Severus Snape as he still hates his bully, James Potter, years afterwards, even after he stopped being a dick. As Sirius points out, Snape gave just as good as he got. By the point James had reformed, Snape joined the nascent Death Eaters, who bullied half-bloods and "mudbloods", turned into a blood purity organization that was basically a cross between the Nazi party and KKK, and Snape later [[You Are What You Hate|turned into]] a [[Sadist Teacher]].}}
** Done weirdly with Harry, who does not appear to suffer any lingering trauma from his Dickensian upbringing, but who ''does'' have a great deal of empathy for other bullied kids - to the point where he suffers a [[Heroic BSOD]] when he sees {{spoiler|his father and godfather horribly bullying Snape}} in a [[Pensieve Flashback]].
*** Said [[Heroic BSOD]] may be due to the fact that, well, {{spoiler|now he knew why Snape hated him so much}}.
* [[Judy Blume]] ’s ''[[Blubber]]'' describes [[Kids Are Cruel|kids' cruelty and lack of empathy]] very well.{{context}}
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* Ashley from [[The Fresh Prince of Bel -Air]] gets bullied by another girl. It turns out that {{spoiler|the bully had misunderstood her and they just exchange a few words and reconcile}}.
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==

However, Lou doesn’t suffer from any kind of trauma and her best friend is the only person who noticed anything. One day, Lou decides to tell the bully how fed up she feels, and the bullying stops, even though the girl is [[One Head Taller]] than Lou.
