Bystander When A Bully Is Bad

If you happen to be the bystander, your success comes from knowing not to get involved or not to get too involved, lest you yourself become an actual bully or a victim. You may even be blessed with the cherished gift of self-denial, and in such case, you are able to dismiss any vague notions that your inaction makes you complicit in the bully's trespass. Still you are human: you have an opinion, you have feelings about the matter. Maybe you sympathize with one of the sides. Maybe you wish you had the guts to be that way. Maybe you're just afraid you'll get hurt. Maybe you have something to lose; maybe that something is so valuable you're not willing to gamble it. Maybe you simply feel guilty for not getting involved. Or, maybe all you feel is relief -- relief that it's not you. Makes no difference, the bystander just stands there. Hence the name. Oh, you may be emotionally conflicted, but being a bystander is really the safest place to be. Consequently, bystanders often opt to remain bystanders.

A bystander today, will normally stand-up for the victim, or report the situation to a superior. A bystander in the 2010s have been well informed about the causalities that occur due to bullying, or how the victim reacts due to the bullying. The victim in the 2010s would normally report the situations themselves, or stand-up to the bully. Some victims will keep the bullying to themselves, but that is different compared to the bully keeping the bullying to him or herself. The emotions created from being bullied will cause the victim to become suicidal, or

The bully is normally very well known; someone who is just as, if not more, guilty is nearly undetectable. This person is a bystander, and according to Tales of Bullying, being a bystander is just as bad as bullying. Bystanders just join in on the laughing. They don’t even help; they just watch bullying like it’s some sort of comedy show. Bystanders can also be people who are just in the wrong place at the wrong time. They can just as easily turn into a person who stands up to bullies, but they don’t. In the end bystanders are just as, if not more, guilty than the

I read the short story “The Bully, the Bullied, and the Bystander” written by Barbara Coloroso. I never pictured how bad bullying was until I read this book. What I liked about this book was how the author found a way to deal with people being bullied, the bullies and the bystanders. Also how she described every type of bullying and how to prevent them. It's a very inspirational book.

"What hurts the victim the most is not the cruelty of the oppressor, but the silence of the bystander," says famous author, Elie Wiesel. According to "verywell.com," people have been bullied for their religion, skin color, and beliefs. This can cause kids to have poor self-esteem and become a bully themselves. Some kids, called bystanders, decide to sit and watch. But what's worse, bullies or bystanders? Bystanders are worse than bullies because they choose not to do anything, encourage the bully, can suffer from guilt, and face consequences for not helping.

In the book "Bystander", written by James Preller, it talks about not just the bully and victims but the other roles, such as Bystanders and allies. In chapter 20, a gathered group of boys discuss their responses to Griffin's unreasonable and illogical behavior. Their reasons for doing nothing include "The unreliability of authority figures to respond", "The threat of retaliation", "The victim, at least on some level, deserves it" , "It is human nature, the law of the jungle, and it will always persist", "It's better to stay out of it", "No one should rat out another student". These are ridiculous and absurd reason to be a bystander to such a unspeakable act. The main idea I would like to another reader to consider is advise others to not

For starters bystanders make the bully feel good. They encourage them by taunting. In ‘’Scholastic News Tales of Bulling’’ Geoffrey Hill says that his friend was a bystander but he soon realize it was bad and it was just like bulling. It makes the victim feel lonely and fell even worse. Indeed don’t be the guy to fit in, make a change.

According to www.bullyingstatistics.org, text bullying can be much meaner because the suspect can text whatever they want because they don’t have to see their victims. Also, "Text Bullying" states that it can happen 24 hours a day, even at home, which is usually a refuge of bullying, so to the victim it will feel inescapable. According to Source 1, students get bullied because they are having a rough time at home. Students may become a bully because they have been bullied in the past. People also become a bully because they want to hurt someone and they think they are bigger, stronger, smarter, and they think they can overpower that person. Being a bully is worse than a bystander because they would get the blame for suicide, lose trust in their amazing friends and loving and caring family, they would have an abundant amount of guilt, and they would be the main cause of all that happened to that person.

Whenever I am given an assignment about bullying I get frustrated; it is not because it pains me to discuss an experience, but more so that I have never been able to classify myself as one of the three broad roles that play a role in creating a bullying scenario.  Throughout my school years I have been informed countless times about the three roles of bullying; we consider the bully the doer of the abuse, the bystander the observer of the abuse and of course the victim is known as the receiver of physical or verbal abuse.  Based on these umbrella terms I could fully consider myself a victim, but that is absolutely not how I would like to be known.  Calling myself a victim makes me seem so pitiful and weak, whereas I like to consider myself

Although many people say, yes bystanders should be able to intervene when there is trouble, a lot of people also believe they shouldn’t be able to intervene when there is trouble. The people that think they shouldn’t intervene when there is trouble is because it isn’t as easy to stand up for someone when they are being bullied, and they may be overwhelmed with something they are already going through and they can’t deal with one more thing. Some people think things like, ‘Someone will surely step in’ (Whitson). It is normal for kids to just pass by thinking that, and someone else truly actually might step in to help. Intervening for young people is very difficult especially when the young girl or boy are shy in some way. For shy kids that are

Have you ever wondered why the bully bullies? 8 of you said you were bullied and 5 of you were bullies. Well, believe it or not the bully needs the same help than the bullied. They are in different sides of the problem but still they both have a problem. We can’t forget that we are talking about kids, about human beings.

To begin with, bystanders are worse than bullies because they sometimes join in. For example, according to Scholastic News, Geoffrey Hill, a sixteen year old former bystander says, “it’s just as bad as bullying because your joining in”. When you’re not doing anything about it, you might be laughing when the victim is getting bullied! That’s joining in! in my opinion, that’s horrible. The bullies are bullying innocent kids for nothing and when bystanders join in it’s just making the sufferer feel worse! Again,

During times of conflict, such as bullying, keeping quiet and being a bystander is never a good idea. Because if you do not speak out against a bully, you end up giving the bully more power which he/ she will use to harass more, weaker people. Now imagine this on a larger scale. Imagine you see a seemingly innocent man in a creepy alley way, in the bad part of town, being pushed and shoved around and the situation looks like it will soon escalate. Instead of being

Forty-two percent of children have been bullied online, and one in four have had it happen to them more than once, according to "Cyber Bullying is a Virus." Being a bystander would be terrifying. Just imagine if you were them. You would want it to stop. Being a bystander would be worse because you would feel guilty, you may get in trouble, you may be seen as a "tattle tale" if you were to tell, but most don’t tell making the victim feel more pain.

Never be a bystander if someone is being bully anybody you should tell a teacher.
