The Bystander
Bystanders are very important.  If you were to walk away when you see someone being bullied, chances are it would stop within 10 seconds.  It is uncomfortable and embarrassing when someone is being bullied and especially when people are watching.  Don’t encourage the bully by giving them an audience; band together and encourage everyone to walk away.
