How to intervene

• What should young people do if they witness an act of bullying?


• Ask yourself, “Is it my job to help?” Think about how you might feel if the bullying were happening to you.


• Don’t just stand there. Say something.


• If you feel safe, tell the person to stop the bullying behavior. Say you don’t like it, and it isn’t funny.


• Don’t be a bystander. If other students laugh or join in, let them know they’re not helping.


• If you don’t feel safe confronting the bully, say something kind to the child who was bullied. Be a friend.


• Don’t bully back. It won’t help and could make things worse.


• Tell an adult—a teacher, school counselor, school nurse or principal. Take a friend along if you need help. If you’re afraid of retaliation, ask the adult at school to help keep you safe after telling.


• Talk to your parents about bullying that you see or know about.
