You are walking home from school and you hear crying to your left. You look and see someone who lives in your neighborhood. Jorge, a classmate who had moved in this year, was getting hurt by an older boy in Middle School. The older kid, Trevor, was known for bullying younger kids.
What are you going to do?
Getting a trusted adult is a brave choice. Trevor is older and bigger, so finding help keeps you and Jorge safe while still stopping the bullying.
Walking away leaves Jorge alone and lets Trevor think hurting others is okay. You don't have to jump in yourself — but telling a trusted adult right away can help.
