Bystanders aka witnesses to the bullying have a great responsibility to help the victim or victims of bullying. There is great power in numbers. It is your duty as a citizen of our great country and as a member of your school to help stop bullying. After all, the bully may choose to victimize you someday. By standing against the bullying actions today, you may be helping yourself tomorrow or in the future.
An example, you see a bully pushing a victim around or hitting or kicking him. You should immediately yell, “Stop that!” If at all possible, get the attention of a nearby teacher, principal, or staff member who has not yet noticed this going on. Better yet, get your friends to join with you in yelling, “Stop being a bully!” This will hopefully intimidate the bully into stopping his or her actions in an attempt to stay out of trouble.
