The Bystander

The witness, hurtful bystanders encourage the bullying that is happening. Bystanders stand and watch, instigating the situation instead of standing up and helping the victim. Bullying may be encouraged by laughing and cheering the bully on, or even recording the bully making the bully feel the need to show off. Bystanders may also join the scene once it has started. Most bystanders accept the bullying and do nothing to help. Be a supportive bystander, offer help to the victim and report any form of bullying you witness to a trustworthy adult.
