Helping a Peer Who is Being Bullied

Although you may not be directly involved in the bullying, there may be times when you see others being bullied. And even though it may be easier to stand by and watch or ignore the bullying, try to keep in mind, we all need a little help from time to time. Think about how you might feel if the bullying was happening to you. Here’s how you can make a difference:

  • Empathy LogoStand up for the victim. Yes, this takes a great deal of courage, but try defending the person being bullied. Don’t Stand By . . . Be an ALLY! This can surprise the bully so much that they end up just leaving the victim alone.
  • If you see someone being bullied, don’t join in. If the bully tries to get you to participate, refuse and walk away.
  • Don’t help spread rumors about another person. You wouldn’t want rumors spread about you, so don’t do it to someone else! If someone gossips to you, let it end with you – don’t pass it on to others. Words DO hurt!
  • Tell an adult. Don’t just stand there and watch, especially if someone is being hurt physically. Tell an adult about the bully and what’s going on. If you feel uncomfortable or unsafe telling an adult, ask the adult to keep your comments private.
  • Offer help. When the bully is gone, try and help the person who was bullied and make sure s/he is okay. Encourage him/her to talk to an adult.

When you help someone who is being bullied, you are not just helping someone else, you’re also helping yourself. It’s important to stand up for what you believe in and help others when you can.
