What's the best way to stand up for someone that's getting bullied without becoming the target of it yourself?

Offer your support to them. Tell them that you believe what is happening is wrong and make yourself available to help them through it in any way they can. That could be helping them approach an adult/employer about it.

I think the best way to show support for someone who is being bullied is to stand up for them. Always look for the good in people and share the good. I honestly think to get someone into exercise and then a fund raising walk/run. Share and support the fund raising and help build the persons self esteem and confidence. Help find positive activities so the person isn't left focusing on the bullies. Ask the bullies what their problem is.

That's pretty simple, be someone the bullies fear. If they think they are going to take a beating, for harassing and picking on someone, they will lay off. I know that's not probably what I'm supposed to say. And it's probably not politically correct or gentle enough. But sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. 90% of the fights I've ever been in my life, I was always sticking up or protecting someone else. I guess this has to be a certain amount of words. So I will just say I hope everybody had a happy holiday and a wonderful New Year.

There's no way to guarantee you won't become a target of bullying. But by standing up for someone else you are creating a safe space for others who want to speak up, but may feel intimidated. Think of it like a ripple effect. If it helps, I still remember and feel gratitude to someone who stood up for me over twenty years ago.

Stand up to the bully, tell them that their actions are disrespectful and mean, and dont care if the bully does start attacking you, if you dont react to the bullies actions most likely the bully wont be interested in bullying you and leave you, and the person they were previously bothering, alone.
