Today, I saw a kid getting bullied; a girl was hitting him in the head. After having an inner struggle with what to do, I tried to stop them. Both kids then turned on me, and called me a "hippo". FML

Good on you for stepping in to help. It takes a lot of courage to do that. It's a shame that the kid getting bullied wasn't more grateful. Good on you for trying to help

Good for you for trying to break up a fight. Not many people would step in where helpis needed. They had no right to call you names.

I know you were being nice. However I'd let the bully get away with it until the bullied learn to stand up for himself. The world is not a bed of roses and he won't always have kindhearted strangers swooning in to save him.

You don't really know how bullying works do you. Most bullied people don't learn this on their own. And if anything, it may even develop into serious traumas later...

it would've been nice if more people stood up for others. I was bullied because I was ill and 'vunerable' that was in no way my fault. Even teachers didn't help me so obviously that caused more issues until.it escalated to physical violence when I was walking my dog. luckily a lady did see what happened even though she was too far away and she gave a statement to the police that it was just a scrap and that I was attacked. That made the teachers listen!

#34 please don't ever have children. You're basically saying that it's okay to bully people if they don't know how to defend themselves. It is never ok to hurt another person unless it's in self defense.

youtube Yousef's "the bully experiment." sometimes the bullied never stand up for themselves, sometimes they need a helping hand to gain their confidence: to say on their behalf that being bullied is not right. If we watch events unfold and wait passively, even turning our backs on the situation, who's to say that the situation then becomes the norm? you want us to say "it's ok to watch someone get bullied, taunted, humiliated, and beat down because sooner or later, they'll learn to function like me, because I would never put up with THAT"... we're the ones who need to learn to stand up for each other and help where we can.

What if the bully physically over powers the bullied? Then what is he going to do? Even if stood up for himself he'd still be getting bullied. Bullying is huge right now, and maybe it would help if we stood up for one another instead of saying just stand up for yourself.

I've often been in the victim's shoes and later in your shoes. From the victims point of view, the problem wish accepting help from a passing stranger is that you are passing and we will be made to pay for agreeing with you. Whereas if we can 'join up' with a bully against an outsider, the risk of being picked on reduces. Don't let it stop you intervening. You did it for the right reasons, not for personal recognition, right?
