Bullying situations usually involve more than the bully and the victim.
They also involve bystanders - those who watch bullying happen or hear about it.
Depending on how bystanders respond, they can either contribute to the problem or the solution. Bystanders rarely play a completely neutral role.
Bystanders can be hurtful or helpful.
