Answer :
For both bystanders and Tristan: Report the behavior to the Administration.
Pro : Bully could potentially stop.
Con : like I said, POTENTIALLY, admin might also sit around and watch even though they say they will, bully now bullies you, or if your Tristan, bullying could get worse.
For Tristan: Laugh it off (only works best if joking is easy for you)
Pro : Could catch the bully off guard.
Con : Bully might get the idea that you either A) don’t take them seriously and could want to fight you or B) are fine with the bullying and will do it more.
I can’t think of a 3rd one
