Don't Stand By
Witnesses to bullying are just as guilty as the bullies themselves. Using the video-diary format, viewers follow four young students who witness bullying and do something about it. Students see four ways a bystander can stand up to a bully: stop a bully together, talk to the bully, be a friend and tell an adult. Because bystanders are clearly a part of the bullying problem, these peer intervention strategies can dramatically decrease the incidence of bullying.
