Almost all kids see bullying happen at some point. They may not be getting bullied nor the ones doing the bullying, but witnesses are just as important. Their reactions can have a direct impact on the situation.โฃ
โฃ
A bystander to bullying is anyone who witnesses bullying. Whether itโ€™s in person, or in digital forms such as: social media, websites, text messages, gaming, and apps.โฃ ๐Ÿ“ฒ
โฃ
When bullying occurs, bystanders are present 80% of the time. Even just one bystander has the potential to make a positive difference in a bullying situation; particularly for the child who is being bullied. โฃ
โฃ
When those that are bullied are defended and supported by their peers, they are less anxious and depressed. ๐˜ž๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฃ๐˜บ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜บ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ, ๐˜ฃ๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜บ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ฑ๐˜ด ๐˜ธ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐Ÿท๐Ÿถ ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ด, ๐Ÿป๐Ÿฝ% ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ.โฃ
