Reacting on offense in community (school) actions 27.2.3.5 -> 9

Hello.

From my childhood I've had a problem. It's hard for me to react properly or with honor to other people's verbal offences. And my question to I Ching was:
How should I best react on bullies trying to offence me?

Since i'm new to I Ching i having a tough time to interpret it. Maybe you could help?
The hexagram draws 27.2.3.5 -> 9;

How should I best react with bullies trying to offend me?

The answer is advising you not to get into a fight with them, stay calm and always restrain your anger. Good luck, as this is one advice that I could never follow.

Lines 27:2 and 27:3 show a problem with 'wrong nourishing', and the advice
is obviously to stay away from that (either stay away from them, or it may
even mean that someone in this situation is, eg, drinking lots?). 27:5 tells
you to seek and side with good people, but still there's not much you can do
apart from doing your best to employ good manners. Patience required i
guess, good luck!
