What can you do if you see someone being bullied?
Ignoring or tolerating bullying makes the bully think what they are doing is acceptable. Believe it or not, when a bystander speaks out and tells a bully to stop, many times the bully actually stops. Follow these tips:
- Don't join in or encourage the bully;
- Do your best to calm the situation;
- Offer your support to the bullied person;
- When your support doesn't help, tell a teacher what's happening.
