4. What Can I Do if Someone Bullies One of my Classmates

Forward

If you witness episodes of bullying, do not stand on the side of the strongest.
Instead, try to talk to the victim and then suggest him how to report these incidents.
The leader of the group creates a climate of negative subjection of the other group members, who – not to become victims of bullying themselves - join in physical, verbal or psychological violence, or simply do not intervene, thus becoming accomplices. The correct behavior is to rebel against this law of the "gang”.
If you feel that someone is humiliated or denigrated for his appearance, supposed weakness or diversity (skin color, different nationality, sexual orientation), it is your duty to help and educate the whole group of your friends.
In the end, always learn to speak with adults who play an influential role within your school or community. They can create a climate of law and order, that the enlarged group will then choose for the common good, and to which they all will have to adapt and be inspired - bully included.
