Zac Efron gets rid of bullying by laughing at aggressors

Washington, Feb 14 (ANI): American actor Zac Efron has revealed that he has found a perfect way to get rid of bullying - by laughing at his aggressors.

Efron, who witnessed the effects of bullying first-hand when his younger brother Dylan became a victim of verbal harassment, is determined to beat the taunts and insists the best way is to laugh it off.

"I wasn't necessarily the subject of bullying, but I've witnessed it a whole lot. I still do at times in life. It doesn't stop happening at school, it can happen with adults," Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

"I have a younger brother, Dylan. There have been a couple of times where I've been out with him and someone has said a couple of words to him that were not nice, and I've had words back. Bullying is one thing I hate in human nature.

"Personally if I had to deal with it, it never got to a situation where it could be considered bullying because I would find some clever way around it. I tend to make a joke. I defer everything with laughter. Even when it's blatantly disrespectful, I would just laugh it off, to avoid all confrontation, and I still use that on a daily basis," he added. (ANI)
