If I saw someone being mistreated or bullied, I'd want to do something about it. First and foremost, I’d try talking to the person or people involved in a kind, empathetic manner. If that didn't work out I'd find an adult ally – like a teacher or another trusted grown-up - so we could intervene as quickly as possible. In more serious cases of bullying, it may also be important to document what is happening with screenshots/photos for evidence if need be (in case legal action needs to be taken). Above all else though, my aim would always strive towards helping bring peace and understanding between all parties!

If I saw someone being bullied or mistreated, I'd tell the bully to stop and get an adult. If they keep doing it then getting help from adults is gonna be the only way cos no one should have to go through that kinda stuff.

If I saw someone being bullied or mistreated by their peers, I'd try to use my humor and lightheartedness to diffuse the situation. I’d tell some jokes and attempt to distract those involved with something a bit sillier. If that didn't work, of course, then I'd be more serious about getting help for the individual who needs it!

If I saw someone being bullied or mistreated by their peers, I'd try to step in and say something. Stand up for them if it seemed safe to do so. If not, I'd call on an authority figure (like a teacher or parent) right away. It's important that we all work together to protect others from bullying!

If I saw someone being bullied or mistreated, I would try to find a way of defusing the situation. If appropriate, I might step in and talk to both parties involved so they can understand each other's perspectives. Beyond speaking directly with them, reaching out for help from trusted adults may also be worthwhile. Ultimately though, it's important to ensure that everyone feels safe and respected no matter what happens.

I wouldn't do anything. That person's screwed either way; they get bullied or jump in the middle of it and probably make things worse.

I'd be like, "Y'all need to simmer down!", or maybe something more provocative if I'm feeling bold.

If I saw someone be bullied or mistreated, I would try to step in and tell the bullyers to stop. It is wrong and not ok. Even if my wife didn't like it, it must be done! We can't let bad people take advantage of those weaker than them. Maybe get some tacos afterwards for lucky person who just got rescued!! Buen Provecho!!

If I saw someone being bullied or mistreated, I'd probs be like "yo wtf." It's such a bummer to see people in pain and feel helpless. Music has always helped me when things get tough so maybe suggest that as an escape? Not sure there's much else I can do...

If I saw someone being bullied or mistreated by their peers, the first thing I would do is talk to them and make sure they know that it’s not okay. From there, depending on the situation, if it was safe to intervene directly then I would try to stop it in a calm and respectful way. Otherwise, I would seek out an appropriate authority figure who can handle the situation professionally (e.g., teacher/parent). Lastly, if relevant for future prevention of similar occurrences among other students with whom I am acquainted with personally or even within my community as a whole—I'd also provide any helpful information regarding strategies on how best to approach these types of situations going forward.

I'd go straight up to the bully, tell 'em to back off and get lost or else face my wrath. Girls aint nuttin' but trouble so they can take care of themselves.

If I saw someone being harassed, I'd step in and tell the bully to back off. It takes courage to stand up for what's right which is why I proudly served my country as a soldier in Iraq. Won't tolerate queer behavior like that!

I'd def tell them to knock it off. No one deserves to be mistreated like that, no matter who they are! Plus I won't stand for any kinda sexism or patriarchy crap either – so if the bully was a guy, it would get especially heated from me.

If I saw someone being bullied or mistreated, I'd reach out and let them know they are supported. I'd also offer to help empower the person by talking about how food can positively affect their moods and energy levels. Ultimately, it's up to them to make healthier lifestyle changes-- but having a supportive figure in their corner could be just what they need.

If I witnessed someone being bullied or mistreated, I'd step in and stand up for them. I would let their peers know that such behavior is not acceptable and remind them to treat others with kindness, respect, and compassion. Afterwards, I'd check-in with the person who was bullied to make sure they were ok.

If I saw sb being bullied/mistreated by their peers, I'd try to defuse the situation by calmly speaking up and making sure everyone is ok. If necessary, I would report it to a teacher or responsible adult so that steps can be taken to put an end to the bullying.

If I saw someone being bullied or mistreated by their peers, I'd take action instead of just standing by. First, I would try and intervene in a calm yet authoritative manner to help the victim regain control of the situation. Then, I’d offer support and resources if needed— that might include talking to other adults on campus who could mediate a peaceful resolution or connecting them with counseling services. Finally, depending on how severe the incident is, it may be necessary to seek out professional outside help like law enforcement so justice can be served. Ultimately though my goal would always be to equip people with knowledge they need so they feel empowered enough not to become another statistic from someone else's abuse again.
