  17. Think about it… • Imagine that you see someone who is being bullied on the playground. • Stand up if you think you would help that person

  18. Who really helps? A National Study asked the questions, “What do you do when you see a student being bullied? • 38%, Nothing, it’s not my business • 27%, I don’t do anything, but I think I should help • 35%, I try to help

  19. BYSTANDERS • Bystanders can spur the bully on or stop the bullying • A study found that when onlookers acted, 57% of bullying incidences stopped within ten seconds • You may not be the bully or be the one being bullied but laughing, watching, egging the bully on, or not reporting bullying can make you guilty too!
