DONT BE A BYSTANDER


Do you have no sympathy!

Stand up! Why are you not helping!

They are cowards! Don’t you become one too.

According to dictionary.com a bully is an overbearing person who routinely badgers and intimidates a smaller or weaker person.

So be the bigger person and don’t be a bystander.

 

Over 3.2 million students are victims of bulling each year and only 1 in 4 teachers will actually do something about it. Kids that are bully victims are 2 to 9 times more likely to be suicidal than non victims. Sure, everyone in this class has a pretty good life, but that doesn’t mean that everyone in this school does.s So give back and make someone else’s life worth living.

 Don’t be a spectator and do nothing, every time you see someone being bullied and are afraid to do something or just don’t care enough, remember that you could be saving there life, when no one else is bothered to do it.

 

So remember, don’t encourage the bully, support the person being bullied, and most importantly bring it to someone’s attention that bullying is happening around you.
