STAND UP!   Whether you know the victim or not, there are things that you as a bystander can safely do to support the victim:
Don't laugh 
Don't encourage the bully in any way
Stay at a safe distance and help the target get away
Don’t become an "audience" for the bully
Reach out in friendship
Help the victim in any way you can
Support the victim in private
If you notice someone being isolated from others, invite them to join you
Include the victim in some of your activities
Tell an adult
There is strength in numbers.  Every school and every community has more caring kids than bullies.
If you are NOT part of the solution, you ARE part of the problem!
