Bully: A person who uses strength or power to harm or intimidate those who are weaker
Victim: A person harmed, injured, or killed as a result of a crime, accident, or other event or action (bullying in this case)
Bystander: A person who is present at an event or incident but does not take part

Once bully is looked down upon for bullying there’s no reason left to bully in the first place

Rachel’s Challenge
“Start a chain reaction”
Pay it Forward
“One act of kindness can change everything”

Without the commitment of all these people bullying will continue to effect lives everywhere
