I don't like watching bullying happen around me, but how do I stop it without being bullied myself?

I think standing up for someone yourself sets you up for being bullied less or not at all. Bullies target those who don't stand up for themselves, people who are nonassertive even in nonthreatening situations. You are doing yourself, and the person you are sticking up for, a favor.

Well it is good that you want to stop the bullying, that is the first step. I think you should get a group to stand up to the bully. I believe that there is always strength in numbers.

To be honest, bullying might come to you even if you try your hardest to prevent it, but that should not affect the way you feel about it. Bullies eat up unconfidence and insecurities. As long as you don't let your unconfidence show, you can do anything. Stand up to them, tell them it's not okay, and stick with your ideals. Bullies generally leave you alone if they see that you are not affected by what they do.

honestly, people will try to push your buttons and put you down just to see what they can do to affect others in horrible ways. its awful. but sometimes, you have to risk going through that in order to be the better person. its really upsetting and irritating sometimes but remember that it's not your problem, its theirs as to why they choose to hurt people for likely no reason. you just have to like i said be the better, bigger person and put them in their place. show them that they cant break you and you wont tolerate them trying to hurt others.

You could report it to the teacher or administrator anonymously. You don't have to get directly involved to make a difference. You can also talk to the people being bullied and help them. I was bullied in school and no one ever asked me if I was okay or was nice to me when I needed it. I became depressed but becoming friends with those who are bullied can help them from falling into a bad place.

Tell someone. Let someone who has the upper hand know. Not only will it help the bullying stop, but it will help the person being bullied a lot

Don't be afraid to stand up for others. If people see you standing up for a kid getting bullied they will respect you. If you're afraid of getting bullied go to a school administrator and tell them what is happening! Teachers and administrators are there for a reason and it's not just to teach! (:

The first thing you can do is to tell an adult person because they can stop bullying, but you need to tell them that you really don't want others to know that you told what's going on. So if no one knows who told everything, no one can bully you because they don't have any evidence that it was you.

There's strength in numbers! maybe you guys can help each other out and if you don't feel comfortable intervening talk to someone with more authority and you can do it anonymously so you don't have to be directly involved
