BLUE HEART BEAT
Bystanders often directly fuel bullying situations by setting up or cheering on the aggressor and victim. Even when bystanders serve only as onlookers, they indirectly support bullying by providing an audience and public acceptance for its legitimacy. In a recent study, bystander peers were present in 88% of bullying episodes, but a bystander intervened in less than on-fifth of these cases. Be an ALLY not a bystander. Don’t accept bullying, teasing and unkind behavior here at Cabrillo! (Counselors & Blue Heart Supporters)
